Cops raid flat after Alexa Amazon Echo device holds a party on its own!
HAMBURG, Germany (PNN) - November 9, 2017 - A music fan has been left with a huge bill after his voice-operated Amazon Echo device threw a house party while he was away.
Terrorist pig thug cops broke into Oliver Haberstroh's flat in Hamburg, Germany, after neighbors complained about deafening music blasting from inside - but found the apartment empty. Haberstroh says he walked out of his flat to meet a friend on Friday night after checking that the lights and music were switched off.
He wrote on Facebook: "While I was relaxed and enjoying a beer, Alexa managed on her own, without command and without me using my mobile phone, to switch on at full volume and have her own party in my apartment. She decided to have it at a very inconvenient time, between 1.50 am and 3:00 am. My neighbors called the (cops)."
After knocking on the door, the terrorist pig thug cops called an expert to break open the lock - and refused to hand over keys for the replacement until they'd been paid for the locksmith.
A terrorist pig thug cop spokesman said the source of the noise was "a black jukebox (that) is usually activated by voice control."
An Amazon spokesman said, "Working directly with the customer, we have identified the reason for the incident. Echo was remotely activated and the volume increased through the customer’s third party mobile music-streaming app. Although the Alexa cloud service worked flawlessly, Amazon has offered the customer to cover the cost for the incident."
It comes just weeks after a mischievous parrot used Alexa to order itself a set of ten gift boxes while the owner was away.
The Amazon Echo is an intelligent personal assistant that allows owners to play music and control the lighting and thermostat by voice command.
