> 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.
Got it — have a timed recording of my voice order a pizza while I'm out kicking puppies.
- nkrisc 6y agoSame idea prominently featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off in 1986. Audio recording as an alibi. I'm sure there are earlier examples. Only he wasn't kicking puppies.

- benhurmarcel 6y agoSomething similar is in Agatha Christie's Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

- mywittyname 6y agoThe problem is, absence of evidence is not evidence to the contrary. Just because someone didn't order pizza or something during that time while at home alone, doesn't mean that they were not at home.
