The kinect comment is just venturing into paranoia territory. Its been confirmed that you control kinect, not the other way around.

Verizon Phone Records Secretly Collected by Feds

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/verizon-phone-records-secretly-collected-feds-report/story?id=19337223

"The Obama administration has been quietly collecting millions of telephone records from U.S. Verizon customers under a top-secret court order first obtained in late April."

"Verizon has been required to provide to the National Security Agency on an "ongoing, daily basis" information on all phone calls made through its systems."
----------------------------------

So what if I want to relax and smoke some of the sacred herb while playing some games? Kinect is always plugged, always watching and listening, its just too creepy.

You know this news pertains to listening onto potential terrorists.......not petty municipal crimes.

Your still acting all tin-foily. The government doesn't bother with small fish and the municipal cops will NEVER get permission to bust some kids smoking weed in front of their Xbox. Gimme a break.

Again, it is NOT always watching, you can turn it off, despite being plugged. It will only "listen" to the words "Xbox On". Thats it.
