A New Mexico man was arrested for allegedly beating his girlfriend and threatening to kill her — after Amazon’s Alexa called police, authorities said.
Eduardo Barros, 28, became angered with his unidentified girlfriend while housesitting in Tijeras, about 15 miles east of Albuquerque, and the dispute suddenly turned physical on July 2, authorities said.

I just cancelled my order on amazon. thanks for the heads up :)(sarcasm)
And just what else is Alexa easedropping on? :-)
Absolutely agree, but that being said, there's no way I'd ever have one of these Alexa things in my home.
This thing is listening to everything it can hear and can and will call the cops on you without your knowledge.
Alexa, listen carefully.
Everything I say is a lie.
I am lying.
Everything. Same as your mobile phone, Onstar...
My Alexa is fighting with my Siri. They are both obstinate b!tches and neither one wants to admit it’s wrong. I dread the day when their periods come on the same day.

I just figured out what to buy all my Muslim Neighbors, Co-workers, acquaintances, etc for Christmas....

I almost want to buy one and then while I am playing with my plush toys threatening to kill them and whatnot and my door gets broken down that i can sue Amazon for some of that sweet Bezos monies....
Media hype. As usual.
Don’t listen to him, Alexa, Epimenides is a liar!
Star Trek!
You’ll know it when Alexa says, “We need to talk about your...technique.”
The story reads as if Alexa called the PD, AFTER the jerk saw 911 calling the woman’s phone and took it to be a voice command to “Call the sheriff”.
BUT -
Why would 911 be calling the woman’s phone without prompting? Bad writing, or covering up the truth of the matter.
Alexa heard the fight and called 911 on her own, and that is why 911 called the woman’s phone.
Alexa listens to everything. Alexa is always listening. Good for the stupid woman who picks felons as her boyfriends (with a child in the house), but, no, thank you.
My daughter has a phone that listens for “OK Google”, and it creeps me out. But, people of the Microwave Age are willing to trade privacy for convenience.
‘This thing is listening to everything it can hear and can and will call the cops on you without your knowledge.’
The abusive man uttered the words, ‘call the sheriffs.’ That’s what triggered Alexa.
Wait until it turns you in for unapproved language.
What if your gf’s name is Alexa?
No, thanks. I’ll pass on this invasion. Frankly, I see nothing worthwhile in having such a device. I don’t need to ask it the capitol of Chili (Santiago - learned that in 6th grade Social Studies), buy more milk is a no brainer and the weather in Texas in the summer is always hot and dry. There. My life is complete. No worries.
