A few years ago the government wanted to privatise the system saying competition would reduce prices .

In addition to being able to ration energy and remotely turn off power , “ Smart ” Meters collect customer usage data 24/7 whereas original 1-way transmitting analog meters DO NOT .
Utilities collect and analyze usage data so they can market more products and services to customers and/or sell data to 3rd parties .

I have a smart meter.
It cannot control any of my devices or appliances.
If I choose to I can schedule appliances to turn on or off based on the price of electricity. The smart meter plays no role whatsoever in this scheduling.
Smart meters do allow peak pricing. Peak pricing allows people to pay for the electricity they actually use. Old fashioned meters force non peak users to subsidise peak users.
I find it strange that there is so much opposition to this notion in The Telegraph, a paper that ostensibly supports the free market and opposes unnecessary subsidy.

Why should non peak users subsidise peak users?

Whilst everyone is looking at the issues with smart meters, the real problem is sneaking up on us rapidly. The electricity grid itself, especially the wiring that delivers to households is deteriorating.
The first electric car was delivered in our road last year. Since then we have had continuing problems with power cuts caused by blowing fuses in the substation and power line. We also suffer from flickering lights and power drops.
The car in question isn’t even a Tesla which has a fast charge facility, but a plug-in hybrid. Another e-car in the road will bring disaster.

Re the comments about Swiss households having separate circuits for different appliances, this is utter nonsense, my house and all my friends and neighbours have a single circuit.
The energy providers are all canton-based. A few years ago the government wanted to privatise the system saying competition would reduce prices. This was rejected by a national referendum.
In addition to being able to ration energy and remotely turn off power, “Smart” Meters collect customer usage data 24/7 whereas original 1-way transmitting analog meters DO NOT. Utilities collect and analyze usage data so they can market more products and services to customers and/or sell data to 3rd parties. Documentary – “Take Back Your Power” – reveals more ugly details. If your utility company offers an “opt out” program, you may want to consider taking advantage of it.

By breaking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the EARN IT bill would allow small website owners to be sued or prosecuted under state laws , as long as the prosecution or lawsuit somehow related to crimes against children .
We know how websites will react to this .

The EARN IT Act would allow all 50 state legislatures, as well as U.S. territories and Washington D.C., to pass laws that would regulate the Internet.

We know how websites will react to this. Once they face prosecution or lawsuits based on other peoples’ speech, they’ll monitor their users, and censor or shut down discussion forums.
The bill also creates an advisory commission on Internet “best practices” that will be dominated by Attorney General William Barr and law enforcement agencies. Barr’s view on Internet “best practices” is well known—he wants to break encryption and let police read every message sent online.
Public outcry has already forced amendments into the EARN IT Act that purport to defend encryption—but they’re full of loopholes. That window dressing doesn’t fix the bill’s many flaws.

From Ars Technica
AT&T took $283 million but didn’t deploy required broadband, Mississippi says Mississippi asks FCC to investigate AT&T’s “pattern of submitting false data.” AT&T falsely told the US government that it met its obligation to deploy broadband at more than 133,000 locations in Mississippi, state officials say. Since 2015, AT&T has received over $283 million from the Federal Communications Commission’s Connect America Fund to expand its network in Mississippi. But the Mississippi Public Service Commission (PSC) said it has evidence that AT&T’s fixed-wireless broadband is not available to all the homes and businesses where AT&T claims it offers service.

World Tourism Day is observed each year on September 27 to “foster awareness among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value.”
While this year’s edition of World Tourism Day was meant to celebrate the role that tourism plays in rural development and providing opportunities outside of big cities, Statista’s Felix Richter notes that the official theme was overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a crushing impact on tourism around the world.
Earlier this year, the UN’s World Tourism Organization published estimates on how big the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on international tourist arrivals could be. The most positive of the three scenarios published in May assumed that travel restrictions would be lifted in July. Even under this scenario, which has already turned out to be too optimistic with international travel still severely restricted, the UNWTO expected international tourist arrivals to drop by 58 percent this year compared to 2019.
Looking at the latest data covering the first six months of 2020, the UNWTO’s estimates weren’t far off, though. As the following chart shows, international tourist arrivals were down 65 percent globally for the first half of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019.
With the recent uptick in new infections around the world proving a major setback in efforts to reanimate the ailing tourism sector, millions of people are fearing for their livelihood, especially in regions heavily dependent on the influx of international tourists.

Clusters of cancer and other illnesses are NOT uncommon near cell towers whether they are 5G or not .
After Sprint installed a small cell tower next to a California school , cancer and other illnesses significantly increased among students and staff .
The company took no responsibility for this but eventually removed it due to public pressure .
Another cancer cluster has been identified in a New York neighborhood where T-Mobile has installed a small cell tower .

Clusters of cancer and other illnesses are NOT uncommon near cell towers whether they are 5G or not. After Sprint installed a small cell tower next to a California school, cancer and other illnesses significantly increased among students and staff. The company took no responsibility for this but eventually removed it due to public pressure. Another cancer cluster has been identified in a New York neighborhood where T-Mobile has installed a small cell tower. A petition has been started asking the company to remove it.
A teenager in South Africa spoke recently about how she has been affected by the cell tower next to her home. Thanks to Environmental Health Trust for sharing this sad story:
Teenager in South Africa Speaks About Illness From Cell Tower Outside Her Front Door
Amanda and Skyla’s story
Amanda Collins lives with her fifteen-year-old daughter, Skyla, in Mitchells Plain—home to Cape Town’s non-white citizens whose families were relocated there during the apartheid years in South Africa.
At the age of four, Skyla was diagnosed with autism at the Red Cross Children’s Hospital. With this condition, she will never be able to enjoy a life independent from her mother.
Five years ago, an American cell-tower company—Atlas—erected an unadorned, monstrous cell-tower in the grounds of a church, within metres of their small home.
The City of Cape Town had approved this cell tower, despite a petition signed by over 200 residents in support of Amanda, as well as a personal letter to Cape Town Mayor, Patricia de Lille.
Shortly thereafter, Amanda started noticing changes in Skyla’s demeanour. “She has retracted back into the shell she was starting to escape from and become quiet, introverted and rarely initiates conversations.”
A once-vibrant woman, Amanda has also been severely affected by the non-stop radiation from the tower. She no longer works and has had to learn to live with buzzing in her ears, insomnia, constant headaches and severe depression.
Over the years, I have written copious letters to those in authority; In June 2017, Professor Olle Johansson wrote to Dr Mbombo, the Minister of Health, Western Province; and Olga Sheean highlighted Amanda and Skyla’s dire circumstances in two of her documents: Challenging the Towers that Be—an appeal to Cape Town Councillors (December 2016), and The World Health Organization—setting the standard for a wireless world of harm (January 2017). See: https://www.emfoff.com/publications/.
A few months ago, I arranged for Cape Town’s Mayor, Dan Plato, to visit. Amanda wept, Skyla rocked back and forth in her chair and he was visibly moved. However, he remarked that his hands are tied because the city approved the cell tower.
Last month, the cell tower was upgraded to 5G—in a suburb where most of the residents own hand-me-down cell phones and can’t even afford data.
Amanda does not know how to help her daughter or herself to escape the torture, and neither do I. She is threatening to end both Skyla’s life and her own. This untenable situation has been reported to a senior official in the local administration, yet nothing has been done.
This deliberate negligence on the part of public officials is ‘justified’ by the fact that WHO has endorsed the ICNIRP guidelines considered valid by DOH, South Africa. Yet these ‘guidelines’, established by a self-appointed panel of industry insiders with zero credibility among independent scientists, are not only scientifically meaningless, but recognize only thermal effects and do not take into account the serious proven biological and neurological effects of non-ionizing radiation from cell towers and other wireless systems.

Amanda’s small property has been devalued by a third. There is also constant noise coming from this tower (located just 10 meters from their home), which was clearly audible on the evening Denise visited, along with the Mayor of Cape Town. In South Africa, there are regular power outages; when they occur, cell towers switch over to generators, which are even noisier. Most nights, Amanda and Skyla lie awake until the early hours of the morning, unable to sleep. When they open their front door, they are confronted by a veritable junkyard – a daily reminder of their seriously compromised lives.

There ARE studies that have ALREADY determined 5G is NOT safe. The majority of scientists worldwide oppose deployment. Legislative action continues to increase worldwide to ban, halt, and limit installation. Of course, there are studies that have determined that exposure to other sources of wireless radiation – 1G through 4G – isn’t safe either (see 1, 2, 3).

Cops in Vallejo have put their controversial cell-phone surveillance tool back in the box, after a judge released a tentative ruling (which the judge might or might not later finalize or amend) that they’d acquired it in violation of state law. The case was brought by Oakland Privacy, the EFF Pioneer Award Winning organization and Electronic Frontiers Alliance member.
They allege that the city of Vallejo, California, may not use its cellular surveillance tool (often called a cell site simulator or stingray) because the police failed to get explicit approval from the city council, following input from residents, of an adequate privacy policy governing its use. According to the tentative ruling (again, it is not final), police must acquire from Vallejo City council a “resolution or ordinance authorizing a specific usage and privacy policy regarding that technology and meeting the requirements” of the state statute.
The City Council assembled via teleconference in spring 2020, amidst a state-wide pandemic related shelter-in-place order, to vote for the purchase of this controversial piece of surveillance equipment. It did so without adequately obtaining input from the public.
What’s worse, the city council approved the purchase in violation of state law (S.B. 741) regulating the acquisition of such technology. To ensure democratic control over whether police may obtain cell-site simulators, the California legislature passed it in 2015. EFF advocated to enact it. The law prohibits local government agencies from acquiring cell-site simulators without the local governing body approving a specific privacy and usage policy that “is consistent with respect for an individual’s privacy and civil liberties.” This policy needs to be available to the public, published online, and voted on during an open hearing. But the Vallejo city council did not consider and approve such a policy when it purported to approve purchase of the technology.
After the judge’s tentative ruling, the Vallejo City Council announced it would be putting a privacy and use policy for this already-purchased machine on the docket for public discussion on October 27. As Oakland Privacy writes on their blog, “This meeting will provide an opportunity for Vallejo residents to read, review and comment upon the policy prior to adoption by the City.” We urge members of the public to turn out and voice their concerns about Vallejo police obtaining expensive new surveillance technology that can intrude on privacy, chill free speech, and disparately burden people of color.
Protect Your Privacy with a Phone Shield Faraday Bag
A cell-site simulator pretends to act as a cell tower in order to locate cellular devices that connect to it. Cell phones in an area connect to the device rather than the actual tower, allowing police to see unique identifiers that could be used to identify or track people. Police most commonly use cell site simulators to locate a known phone in an unknown location (for example, to find a person wanted on a warrant), or to identify the unknown phones in a known location (for example, to learn the identity of protesters at a rally). After borrowing such a device from another agency, the Vallejo Police Department argued it needed its own, and proposed spending $766,000 on cell-site simulator devices from KeyW Corporation, along with a vehicle in which police would install it.
Police claim that cell-site simulators are a valuable tool in fighting terrorism and crime–but the truth is police often use them to target low-level infractions. For example, Maryland police deployed a stingray to collect information on the customers of a pizza shop in an attempt to find the thief that absconded with around $50 worth of chicken wings and subs. Worse, there are serious concerns that police use stingrays to identify people who exercise their First Amendment right to attend political demonstrations and protests.
Oakland Privacy’s lawsuit is an important test of CCOPS (Community Control Over Police Surveillance) ordinances, which cities around the country are adopting in order to ensure democratic control over what technology their police departments are able to acquire and use.
We applaud this tentative ruling as a sign that protective CCOPS ordinances can prevent police from acquiring and using invasive technology without any oversight or accountability. And we applaud Oakland Privacy for bringing this case.

A new report confirms what we’ve been talking about since the early days (read: here) of the virus pandemic, that is, an exodus out of major cities.
According to real estate analytics company Zumper, the exodus out of San Francisco has been so great, that the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment collapsed more than 20% in September from a year ago to $2,830. Month over month, September rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city fell by 7%.
Referring to the plunge in rent prices in San Francisco, Zumper said:
Not only is this drop among the largest yearly decreases Zumper has ever recorded in our history of tracking rental prices, but it was also the first time the median 1-bed price in San Francisco was priced below $3000. These combined trends show just how drastically the market has changed in the nation’s most expensive city to rent.
Zumper CEO Anthemos Georgiades, who was quoted by CNBC, said a flood of supply is hitting the market:
“Some renters may be inclined to move to the suburbs to get more space, as the Covid-19 pandemic spurred companies to close offices and allow employees to work from home. Facebook and Google, for example, have told employees they can work remotely at least through next summer,” Georgiades said.
The virus-induced downturn, resulting in the collapse of small businesses citywide, the decimation of low-income households, and high-unemployment, is forcing many folks across the metro area to downsize or move to less expensive areas. He said wildfires and hazardous air conditions were some other reasons for “tipping the balance about their medium-term location choices.”
Social unrest and the rise of violent crime have made many folks uncomfortable about raising a family in the dangerous metro area. Many are moving to rural communities of the Bay Area, from Marin County to Napa wine country and south to Monterey’s Carmel Valley.
Georgiades said it could take years for San Francisco real estate to heal from its pandemic wounds:
“Despite everything our data is showing, there are so many signals that it will recover, however contrarian this point may sound,” he said. “However, I think we’re talking years to fully recover, not months.”
Georgiades’ view of a multi-year exodus is supportive of our piece titled “Real Estate Expert Warns’ Exodus’ From Cities Will Last Two Years.”

activistpost--2020-10-03--The Police Are Requesting Data from People’s Smart Speakers at an Alarming Rate

Remember all those conspiracy theorists and Luddites who told you they didn ’ t want Echo or Alexa devices in their home because those gadgets were spying on them ?
Well , they were right .
That ’ s not even up for debate .
If you were one of those friends who mocked them and called them crazy , you were wrong .
Just admit it .
If you are bewildered by what you just read , please , read on .
Nearly ten years ago , writers like Brandon Turbeville and others were warning that “ smart technology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” were being developed for surveillance and manipulation purposes .
( Despite the companies ’ claims of greater convenience . )
We ’ ve been in a virtual dragnet for years .
Those devices and technologies are ubiquitous and are being used to soak up data , private and personal conversations , interactions , and even movement .
All of this openly discussed in mainstream outlets .
Lately , this website has reported on the Nest , your phone ’ s location tracker , and other “ smart ” technology .
We ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have “ surveillance scores.
“ Take a look at WIRED ’ s article by Sidney Fussell , “ Meet the Star Witness : Your Smart Speaker.
” In this article , Fussell details a murder case in which an Amazon Echo device was presented as evidence .
In July 2019 , police rushed to the home of 32-year-old Silvia Galva .
Galva ’ s friend , also in the home , called 911 , claiming she overheard a violent argument between Galva and her boyfriend , 43-year-old Adam Crespo .
The two lived @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about 20 miles from Miami .
When officers arrived , Galva was dead , impaled through her chest by the 12-inch blade at the sharp end of a bedpost .
Police believe Crespo tried to drag Galva from their bed .
She held onto the bedpost to resist , but the sharp end snapped , somehow killing her .
Police charged Crespo with second-degree murder .
He pleaded not guilty and was released on $ 65,000 bail , awaiting trial .
In the months since the arrest , Crespo ’ s lawyer has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his defense : recordings from a pair of Amazon Echo speakers .
“ I had a lot of interviews where people said , ‘ Oh , are you aware that this could be the first time Alexa recordings are going to be used to convict somebody of murder ?
’ ” says Christopher O ’ Toole , Crespo ’ s lawyer .
“ And I actually thought of it the opposite way , that this could be the first time an Amazon Alexa recording is used to exonerate somebody and show that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecutors collect smart home or speaker data , it ’ s typically used as evidence against suspects .
The Hallandale Beach Police Department filed a subpoena for Crespo ’ s speakers , as they may have picked up audio of the argument Galva ’ s friend overheard .
The incident shows the growing role of smart home devices and wearables in police investigations .
In 2016 , police in Bentonville , Arkansas , requested Amazon Echo data in connection with a man ’ s death , believed to be the first such request @ @ @ @ @ @ @ request , but later handed over the data .
A murder charge against the defendant was later dropped , but the speaker , smart home , and wearable data has figured into multiple cases since then .
Requests for smart and wearable data has increased rapidly .
Earlier this month , Amazon said it had received more than 3,000 requests from police for user data in the first half of this year , and complied almost 2,000 times .
That was a 72 percent increase in requests from the same period in 2016 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and a 24 percent jump in the past year alone .
Amazon doesn ’ t provide granular data on what police are seeking , but Douglas Orr , head of the criminal justice department at the University of North Georgia , says police now look for smart home data as routinely as data from smartphones .
Data on a smartphone often points officers towards other devices , which they then probe as the investigation continues .
By amending a search warrant , police can “ keep going to keep collecting data , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leads to an Echo or at least some other device.
” As Orr explains , officers are getting more savvy about smart home devices , creating templates that simplify requesting data .
Police departments often share these templates , he says , tailoring requests for the specifics of the case they ’ re investigating .
Google ’ s Nest unit reported increasing police demands for data from its smart speakers through 2018 .
Google then stopped reporting Nest data separately , including such requests in its broader corporate transparency report , which shows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In their terms of service , most major apps and websites include a clause warning users that companies may hand over their data if requested by the government .
Law enforcement agencies file subpoenas or search warrants for data , detailing to judges what evidence they expect to find on the devices and how it may serve the investigation .
Amazon and Google both notify users of a request for data unless the order itself forbids it .
Any number of entities can request user data , but the companies say they prioritize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like Homeland Security , they ’ re going to take high priority , ” explains Lee Whitfield , a forensic analyst .
“ Other law enforcement requests will come in under that .
And then things like divorce cases or civil cases , they have a lower ranking.
” In an emailed statement , an Amazon spokesperson said the company “ objects to overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands ” from law enforcement and referred WIRED to its policy on government requests .
A Google spokesperson also referred WIRED to its updated policy on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ information from the devices is valued because it can offer a timeline of a person ’ s activities , their location , if they ’ re alone , and can verify statements made during questioning .
Orr has studied the types of data police can pull from smart speakers like the Amazon Echo .
“ Voice clips are only the beginning , ” he says .
Speakers keep time-stamped logs of user activity .
Police can examine these logs to get a sense of what someone was doing around the time of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example of how these devices are used by law enforcement .
Consider a potential suspect who can ’ t prove where they were at 11 pm on a Thursday , because they live alone .
Something as simple as ordering pizza through a speaker would show the time and location of the request and , if voice recognition is enabled , who made the request .
“ It might be benign information that someone was ordering a pizza , but it might also be an alibi for somebody , ” Orr says .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ devices to verify the claims people make during an investigation .
Sometimes , the tools can reveal a lie .
Heather Mahalik , a forensics instructor , recalls a Florida case in which a man killed his wife , then tried to impersonate her .
The husband sent texts and Facebook messages from his wife ’ s phone in an attempt to blur the timeline of her disappearance .
While the woman ’ s phone activity continued , her Apple Watch showed a sudden drop in heart rate activity that the husband claimed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Activity on the man ’ s phone synced perfectly with when he used the wife ’ s phone to post to Facebook .
Her phone showed no activity except for when the husband picked it up to post , with timestamps matching his activity to the use of the wife ’ s phone .

Remember all those conspiracy theorists and Luddites who told you they didn’t want Echo or Alexa devices in their home because those gadgets were spying on them? Well, they were right. That’s not even up for debate.
If you were one of those friends who mocked them and called them crazy, you were wrong. Just admit it.
If you are bewildered by what you just read, please, read on.
Nearly ten years ago, writers like Brandon Turbeville and others were warning that “smart technology” and the “internet of things” were being developed for surveillance and manipulation purposes. (Despite the companies’ claims of greater convenience.) We’ve been in a virtual dragnet for years.
Those devices and technologies are ubiquitous and are being used to soak up data, private and personal conversations, interactions, and even movement. All of this openly discussed in mainstream outlets. Lately, this website has reported on the Nest, your phone’s location tracker, and other “smart” technology. We’ve even talked about how we all have “surveillance scores.“
Take a look at WIRED’s article by Sidney Fussell, “Meet the Star Witness: Your Smart Speaker.” In this article, Fussell details a murder case in which an Amazon Echo device was presented as evidence.
He writes,
In July 2019, police rushed to the home of 32-year-old Silvia Galva. Galva’s friend, also in the home, called 911, claiming she overheard a violent argument between Galva and her boyfriend, 43-year-old Adam Crespo. The two lived together in Hallandale Beach, Florida, about 20 miles from Miami. When officers arrived, Galva was dead, impaled through her chest by the 12-inch blade at the sharp end of a bedpost. Police believe Crespo tried to drag Galva from their bed. She held onto the bedpost to resist, but the sharp end snapped, somehow killing her. Police charged Crespo with second-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty and was released on $65,000 bail, awaiting trial. In the months since the arrest, Crespo’s lawyer has presented a surprising piece of evidence in his defense: recordings from a pair of Amazon Echo speakers. “I had a lot of interviews where people said, ‘Oh, are you aware that this could be the first time Alexa recordings are going to be used to convict somebody of murder?’” says Christopher O’Toole, Crespo’s lawyer. “And I actually thought of it the opposite way, that this could be the first time an Amazon Alexa recording is used to exonerate somebody and show that they’re innocent.” When police and prosecutors collect smart home or speaker data, it’s typically used as evidence against suspects. The Hallandale Beach Police Department filed a subpoena for Crespo’s speakers, as they may have picked up audio of the argument Galva’s friend overheard. The incident shows the growing role of smart home devices and wearables in police investigations. In 2016, police in Bentonville, Arkansas, requested Amazon Echo data in connection with a man’s death, believed to be the first such request. Amazon initially tried to block the request, but later handed over the data. A murder charge against the defendant was later dropped, but the speaker, smart home, and wearable data has figured into multiple cases since then.
Requests for smart and wearable data has increased rapidly.
Fussell continues,
Earlier this month, Amazon said it had received more than 3,000 requests from police for user data in the first half of this year, and complied almost 2,000 times. That was a 72 percent increase in requests from the same period in 2016, when Amazon first disclosed the data, and a 24 percent jump in the past year alone. Amazon doesn’t provide granular data on what police are seeking, but Douglas Orr, head of the criminal justice department at the University of North Georgia, says police now look for smart home data as routinely as data from smartphones. Data on a smartphone often points officers towards other devices, which they then probe as the investigation continues. By amending a search warrant, police can “keep going to keep collecting data,” Orr says. “That usually leads to an Echo or at least some other device.” As Orr explains, officers are getting more savvy about smart home devices, creating templates that simplify requesting data. Police departments often share these templates, he says, tailoring requests for the specifics of the case they’re investigating. Google’s Nest unit reported increasing police demands for data from its smart speakers through 2018. Google then stopped reporting Nest data separately, including such requests in its broader corporate transparency report, which shows increased requests for Google user data. In their terms of service, most major apps and websites include a clause warning users that companies may hand over their data if requested by the government. Law enforcement agencies file subpoenas or search warrants for data, detailing to judges what evidence they expect to find on the devices and how it may serve the investigation. Amazon and Google both notify users of a request for data unless the order itself forbids it. Any number of entities can request user data, but the companies say they prioritize requests based on urgency. “Things like Homeland Security, they’re going to take high priority,” explains Lee Whitfield, a forensic analyst. “Other law enforcement requests will come in under that. And then things like divorce cases or civil cases, they have a lower ranking.” In an emailed statement, an Amazon spokesperson said the company “objects to overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands” from law enforcement and referred WIRED to its policy on government requests. A Google spokesperson also referred WIRED to its updated policy on requests. Forensic experts tell WIRED that information from the devices is valued because it can offer a timeline of a person’s activities, their location, if they’re alone, and can verify statements made during questioning. . . . . .
Orr has studied the types of data police can pull from smart speakers like the Amazon Echo. “Voice clips are only the beginning,” he says. Speakers keep time-stamped logs of user activity. Police can examine these logs to get a sense of what someone was doing around the time of an alleged crime.
Fussell then provides another example of how these devices are used by law enforcement.
He writes,
Consider a potential suspect who can’t prove where they were at 11 pm on a Thursday, because they live alone. Something as simple as ordering pizza through a speaker would show the time and location of the request and, if voice recognition is enabled, who made the request. “It might be benign information that someone was ordering a pizza, but it might also be an alibi for somebody,” Orr says. Police increasingly rely on wearables and smart devices to verify the claims people make during an investigation. Sometimes, the tools can reveal a lie. Heather Mahalik, a forensics instructor, recalls a Florida case in which a man killed his wife, then tried to impersonate her. The husband sent texts and Facebook messages from his wife’s phone in an attempt to blur the timeline of her disappearance. While the woman’s phone activity continued, her Apple Watch showed a sudden drop in heart rate activity that the husband claimed was due to a dead battery. Activity on the man’s phone synced perfectly with when he used the wife’s phone to post to Facebook. Her phone showed no activity except for when the husband picked it up to post, with timestamps matching his activity to the use of the wife’s phone. “We were able to tell from his device that he would pick up the phone, take 18 steps, and it corresponded with the time he posted a Facebook post,” Mahalik says. Connecting information from multiple devices is a common practice, analysts say. Information on one device can suggest evidence on another. This ability to string together discoveries leads to what another expert calls a phased approach to digital forensics. “They ask for something, the investigation moves along, they find something else interesting, and then they request the next thing,” says Whitfield, the forensic analyst. O’Toole, Crespo’s lawyer, says police subpoenaed Crespo’s social media accounts right away, then requested his voice recordings about four weeks later. Officers wrote in the search warrant that the speaker data may include “audio recordings capturing the attack on victim Silvia Crespo.” O’Toole says he intends to introduce the smart speaker recordings in his client’s favor. Via email, a spokesperson for Hallandale Beach Police confirmed the case was still active but did not provide further comment. O’Toole says smart speaker recordings are part of several cases he’s working on, including a divorce in which a woman subpoenaed data from a smart speaker that may have picked up the sounds of her husband with another woman..
Whitfield says police are becoming more savvy about the information in the smart speakers’ activity logs. He recalls a case where police found drugs in a household with multiple residents. Officers identified a suspect after seizing data from a smart speaker. Its log not only listed recent queries related to drugs but identified who spoke them. Google and Amazon speakers let users create profiles so the devices recognize their individual voices. This information helped police identify the suspect.
“I just don’t see this going away,” Whitfield says. “I think this is going to be more and more prolific as time goes on.”
Whitfield is right.
It will never go away.
Advertisement of these technological devices as a tool for convenience was a manipulative tactic to introduce technological devices for their real purpose – the tracking, monitoring, and recording of citizens so that no action – no matter how small – goes unnoticed. We are already living in a surveillance state and it’s only going to get worse.
Once begun, this bell cannot be unrung.

A vibrant economic recovery of America’s largest city that is New York City, depends on the return of office workers; otherwise, the absence of white-collar folks means a painful recovery is ahead.
As of Sept. 18, about six months after the virus pandemic began, only 10% of Manhattan office workers were back, according to The Wall Street Journal, quoting commercial real estate services and investment firm CBRE Group Inc.’s latest report. That represents a slight uptick from the 6% to 8% level seen in July, a month after strict social distancing measures were eased because of the virus pandemic.
Months and months of empty office buildings across the borough paralyzed the local economy, which resulted in a collapse in consumption as workers stayed home. The spillover effect has since led to a collapse in small businesses across the area.
CBRE’s report noted on a national level, about a quarter of office workers returned to their desks in September. The figure was higher in certain metropolitan areas such as Dallas at 40% and the Los Angeles metro area at 32%. The reoccupation rate across NYC is 32%.
The low rate of office workers returning to Manhattan is a significant disappointment for anyone who remotely thought NYC’s economic recovery would resemble a “V” by the fourth quarter of 2020.
With new clusters of cases emerging in Brooklyn and NYC’s northern suburbs in recent days, new fears of restrictions to businesses and schools could be nearing.
Already, mobility trends around the city, according to Apple’s Mobility Trends Tracker, shows driving, walking, and transit is slumping as the virus cases are increasing in the city.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said “significant action” is needed to mitigate the spread of the virus in hot spot areas. A continued rise in cases could affect the city’s reopening of schools.
New virus developments come as NYC prepares this week to reopen public schools and permit restaurants to allow some indoor dining. A surge in the virus and the slow return to the workplace suggests a vibrant recovery in the real economy won’t be seen this year. A direct consequence of the virus-induced downturn is the implosion of commercial real estate woes, an exodus of city-dwellers to suburbs, jump in murders and homelessness, and the collapse of small businesses.
So again, remind us how the real economy is in a “V” recovery?
