Abstract: In this paper, we develop the concept of smart home devices as ‘invisible witnesses’ in everyday life. We explorecontemporary examples that highlight how smart devices have been used by the police and unpack the socio-technical implicationsof using these devices in criminal investigations. We draw on several sociological, computing and forensics concepts to developour argument. We consider the challenges of obtaining and interpreting trace evidence from smart devices; unpack the ways inwhich these devices are designed to be ‘invisible in use’; and reflect on the processes by which they become domesticated intoeveryday life. We also analyse the differentiated levels of control occupants have over smart home devices, and the surveillanceimpacts of making everyday life visible to third parties, particularly the police.
