I wonder if the voice activated speakers can record people talking and potentially be used as evidence in court. Like the Amazon and Google ones

My speakers have heard some incriminating stuff.
Fretting.

Cat health
It's taken me ages to find food and treats that Melbcat isn't allergic to and that she will eat... but I'm aware they're not good for her in other ways. She started blood pressure meds last night and will go on phosphate binders next week when they come in but I still worry. I'll see if I can find better alternatives but I'm a bit limited with conflicting health conditions.
Nightmare neighbours, tree law
I may also be creating fresh hell for myself ie. bringing a long term nightmare neighbour down on my head again by reporting some incorrectly planted invasive trees.
However it probably needs to be reported. The base of one tree is literally an inch from my foundation/external wall and is now sending up suckers inside my property line. The other is a plane tree planted a foot away and could possibly crack the wall or the foundation as it grows. If there’s a risk that the trees might actually damage the structure of the place I’m living in I obviously don’t want that to happen. And since the owner of the trees may be liable for any property damage caused I want it on record that I am not the owner and am not responsible.
It’s a fucked position to be in. But at least if there are any issues with property damage down the track there can be a paper trail that makes it harder to blame me and demand I pay.
Also just FYI I was unable to edit this on mobile. Had to jump on the computer to do it. Anyone else having this issue?
