Your original comment of "against the homeowner" reads to me as a similar appeal to emotion.
> The accessibility/retention of the recordings for law enforcement
The particulars here seem to be that they probably don't have recordings, and those recordings -- if they exist -- were only obtainable under court supervision. You muddled -- deliberately or accidentally -- both of these points in your post.
> the NSA
Who were mentioned precisely zero places in the original article.
> It’s not hard to see what’s coming when they put large blinking neon signs like this case up for us
Except you've created a gigantic strawman:
* Law abiding citizen
* Warrantless seizure
* Referring to these devices as recording devices, where that's a serious distortion of the functionality they offer, and it's entirely unclear if there are any saved audio files, anywhere
* Claiming that the NSA would refer to diverting recordings from this as non-collections

And then attacked that.
