I will be six feet underground before I allow one of those things into my home.
I can see them as mandatory in 30 years...

“This amazing technology definitely helped save a mother and her child from a very violent situation.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mother having sense not to get involved with violent felons would be better.

Bigger question; is this person in our country legally, or is he a Jeb Bush lover?

Yep! Or, “...stop or I’ll have ALEXA CALL THE POLICE!....”

Could be helpful.

The Post indicates that 911 contacted the female moments later, prompting Barros to throw her to the floor after seeing emergency services on her phone’s caller ID.

It seems like ALEXA helped to escalate the situation.

The police called - in response to ALEXA, which infuriated the man, and caused him to become physically violent.

BTW, are they both legally in the country?

A SWAT team was dispatched to the residence

This should be a requirement for ALL Police Officers to have their House Raided by a Swat Team annually unannounced.

“Honey, let’s watch this one on TCM called There Is A Man In Our House. Omar Sharif is in it.”

ALEXA: “Calling the Sheriff’s Dept.”

LOL

It’s not like Alexa was listening, determined there was a fight going on and called the Sheriffs on them.

The idiot directly asked Alexa a question that Alexa misinterpreted as a command. The girlfriend or her daughter could have at any time said, “Alexa call the sheriffs”.

“Did you call the sheriffs?” Barros reportedly questioned.

An Amazon virtual assistant plugged into the home’s landline interpreted the question as a command to call police, Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Felicia Romero told the New York Post.


Not believable. No trigger word, and the Echo is good enough not to interpret questions as commands.

So you guys would have liked things better if someone had been beaten to death or shot, rather than the sheriff being called? Something seriously wrong with that.

“The unexpected use of this new technology to contact emergency services has possibly helped save a life,”

Sounds more like it caused her to get beaten.

Only wish Alexa would call ICE when it recognizes illegals in the home.

Yet another reason to not allow one of these in your home.
