Amazon’s Echo device may have been a silent witness to murder | ABC News

1. iPad , iPhone and google hub all do same

2. I have a Alexa ;-;

3. Amazon never gonna share those audios, simply cuz it would prove that they record everything on their clients

4. Only if it auto records all of the time.

5. Police: hey Alexa who killed her
   Alexa: I ain’t no snitch

6. That ship was bound to move eventually. Kt's been losing weight since it was stranded. As more and more metal rusts away it get lighter and be moved by the rushing water.
   Why would anyone have listening dwbicws in tbeir ho es connectwd to the internwt? Even cell pho es have mucrophobes amd cameras and they can be hacked. There is no privacy. Somec

7. If they give the warrant for it….their gonna open the floodgates to privacy laws

8. “Alexa I’m being murdered!”
   I’m sorry. I can’t help you with that.

9. This isn’t at all how it works and you are just making people paranoid! Unless the wakeword is spoken, the “recording” is just dumped. It is not stored in any way. It would be like if you held a bucket in the rain to try to catch frogs and dumped the bucket of rain water every time it filled up if there wasn’t a frog in it. Except even LESS than that! The other case they referenced the court actually asked Amazon to hand over recordings from 2 years before as if Amazon records every Alexa device 24/7 and saves it forever. I did the math on that (roughly) and calculated that if Amazon was using the current max size 16TB HDDs, they would fill a hard drive in less than 15 seconds.
   If you actually WANT an Alexa device to record murder information, as others have said, you would have to say “Alexa, my husband is killing me!”

10. Of course it’s florida😭

11. not guilty after two women died, what type of person thinks hes not guilty.

12. Hey Alexa, can we report all the celebrities, politicians, and CIA involved in human trafficking.

13. Don't forget, this is Obama's fault

14. I should invest in aluminum foil. People rushing out to buy plenty of foil after watching this.

15. 3:59 Please mix your audio down. After watching the beginning of the video with the volume at a reasonable level I get bombarded with your ABC YouTube channel splash at the end and it's too loud.

16. I knew that Alexa is listening to all of us when they couldn’t put microphones in everyone’s house to listen to us, what do they use “Alexa” a microphone for the fbi and gov to use against us

17. If they can find the murder audio, then don't buy these. Yes this would be good for this situation. But it goes too far in other situations.

18. Gotta put Alexa in witness protection now.

19. This is literally the only proof we all need to realize that we are always being listened too

20. hey alexa, is amazon listening to everything i say?
    "yes absolutely, we are gathering all information on you so we can sell your information"

21. Is this guy dumb? "I pulled it out, hoping it wasnt too bad"? I thought everyone knew you dont pull a blade out of a stab wound. Either he pulled it out intentionally to make sure she bled out, or he murdered her out of pure stupidity. Either way, not innocent.

22. I mean i am cool with alexa working with police but the police have to work with alexa directly.
    Alexa do you have any debug recordings for the address of blah blah a murder has occurred.
    So you have a warrant officer please submit a warrant.
    Alexa has comminucated with the judges alexa warrants issued no we do not have any debug but we do have all backups recordings do you have a federal warrant?

23. That’s why I don’t have them. 🍻

24. So I just watched this entire garbage video, and from what I understand, there is absolutely no reason to think that Amazon is listening to users unless a wake word is spoken. The video heavily implies that a recording exists of everything you say, even though that is not based on absolutely any evidence or facts that they've compiled. The fact that commenters are just jumping on this is appalling and speaks to the state of sensationalism on the internet.

25. Jungle themed bedroom?

26. Alexa is a tekashi 69

27. dont buy these type of products. dont trade rights for "saftey"

28. So much for privacy

29. That's the concept. The more they make this excessive technology look good, spying on us. The more likely you'll take the mark of the beast. (Revelation 13) just sayin.

30. Playing Ghost Recon and uses the word kill with gun sounds
    FBI OPEN UP!

31. Now every female is gonna want an Alexa because of how much they provoke their boyfriends into violent arguments.. this is probably all just a marketing stunt. Bitches you need to just chill..

32. Proves that Alexa is always listening? Got rid of mine.

33. If only tRump had on in the Oval Office. 😂🤣

34. Amazon insists it does not record audio all the time.. oh by the way, it just happened to be recording these two guys murdering their girlfriend… Are you fucking stupid? What were they arguing about Amazon?

35. A perfect reason for Socialists to intrude on your privacy. It's starts with these type of tragedies to squeeze a emotional response. It's what they do to "influence" the ignorant.

36. Someone puts Alexa on the stand as a witness 😂😂😂

37. Silent I think not

38. they listen to you,,,,and the police can get and use whatever they want

39. Lawyer: I call Alexa to the stand, your Honour.

40. It seems like a huge lawsuit against Amazon at the very least. They've publically stated that this thing doesn't listen without a wake word, so if in fact it was listening without that, they can be sued for false advertising and privacy violation. Also, if the lawyer is good enough, he might be able to get those recordings deemed inadmissible and thrown out, because it was unlawfully recording him without his permission.

41. For it to hear me say it's name it is listening……..

42. LMAO all of these people talking about Alexa devices and privacy 😂 Meanwhile they're logged into their YouTube account (owned and tracked by Google) typing in comments using their smartphones…

43. Amazon is so savvy at marketing people are buying what is basically a wiretap. I bet the NSA was laughing their asses off when this hit the market lol

44. meanwhile, apple wouldn't give the feds the passcode the San Bernardino shooters phone…

45. It makes no sense that the guy would have called out: Computer! or Alexa! before the death of his girlfriend in order for this device to record the actions surrounding the death. So it doesn't sound true that Alexa must have a word to activate the recording.

46. Chris Watts had Alexa. Cops should listen to her for the unanswered questions.

47. This anchor man reminds me of Barbie's boyfriend 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
