33 year old murderer identified by personal electronic equipment

A 33-year-old pilot has confessed to the killing of his 20 year old British wife as a result of the Police checking her biometric watch which revealed her pulse readings on the day she died when he claimed she was already dead, tracking his movements as recorded from his smart phone and the time of the removal of the data card from their home security camera (LINK).

Sometimes the invasion of privacy can yield positive results but it does show the extent of the traces that we leave behind as we live our 21st Century lives.

I think that some may have missed the point here . . .

The fact that the Greek Police have secured a confession from a murderer by examining electronic devices is undoubtedly a great thing. However, I do wonder what use could be made by criminals and commercial "profilers" of the data about which we care so little.

I think that most people (myself included) just happily ignore GDPR requests to gather data on our everyday activities - let alone data gathering about which we know nothing and over which we have no control - e.g. by Google.

GP Surgeries are about to hand over our (allegedly "sort of" anonymised) patient records. On the face of it, this will undoubtedly be a great help in protecting against the next pandemic but who knows where it will end up.

I guess we have all been through the Belbin Personality Sorter exercise, many people respond happily to Queationnaires or check their Political Compass online; some people may even have heard of Cambridge Analytica

Wot?

Me?

Paranoid? ​

Women have clamoured for equality on all levels with men, so why do they "need that protection", and why should they be offered it? It sounds like they are basing their pursuit of equality on a financial gain basis here, and the law is pandering to their imbalanced pursuits.

Does your post have anything at all to do with either murder or the identification of a murderer by interrogating electronic devices

No, of course it doesn't, it is just a moan about how unfair life is for you
