hmm... interesting..

are the Sheriffs lying? why would they? interesting..

So what if Alexa called the police..  Alexa saved the day yay right?

Thank you Alexa for all your hard work listening us and helping us when we need help.


I'm not saying that Alexa is listening 24/7 at our rooms.  But what if it did?

My last question to you my friends here at steemit, is it worth trading away your privacy for security?


(this story bugged me for the last few hours so I share this with you. Have a great day,)
