Police ask Alexa: Who dunnit?

You have the right to remain silent -- but your smart devices might not. Amazon's Echo voice-activated speaker has more "skills" than you may be using. SAN FRANCISCO -- In what may be a first, police in Arkansas asked Amazon for recordings potentially made by an Echo device in connection with a murder investigation. Police in Bentonville, Ark., asked Amazon for audio and other records from an Echo digital assistant in the home of James Andrew Bates after Victor Collins was found dead in Bates' hot tub last year, The Information reported Tuesday. Bates was charged with killing Collins on Nov. 22, 2015, according to court documents.
