Data asked to be released
Amazon’s Echo and Echo Dot where on everyone’s Christmas list this year. The personal assistant ‘Alexa’ designed to assist you from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep. The devices were made to deliver music, news, weather and keeping up with your schedule.
But Arkansas police think that ‘Alexa’ could have been a witness to murder. Bentonville Police is asking Amazon to release the data collected from ‘Alexa’ in the home of James Bates.
Bates is accused of killing his co-worker, Victor Collins, who was found dead in Bates’ hot tub after a night of partying. Bates plead not guilty.
Amazon’s device is supposed to record conversation. The prosecuting attorney wonders if it recorded anything relevant to the case that night. However, Kimberly Weber, defending attorney disagrees and says releasing the data is a “deep invasion of privacy.”
This case brings new laws for technology that runs 24-hours 7-days a week.
