Fitbit proves woman lied about a sexual assault, The Young Turks are outraged fitbit can be used in court.

Yeah, obviously it's better for a man to get fucked by a false rape accusation than for her sacred FitBit info to be compromised

Since there was no mention of a sexual assault case in the video, I'm left wondering what the connection is?

Or are you just speculating that the video is in response to some case that happened just before the video was made based on their history?

I don't watch too many Young Turk videos as I can not stomache their brand of BS for long.

This had nothing to do with the sexual assault case. It was stupid to even have it in the description if they are not going to talk about it directly.

I personally wouldn't want something as inaccurate as fitbit data to be used in court. It could be just as much as a detriment to innocent people as the guilty.

this youtube video gave me ear cancer

I'm confused. The whole video is them upset that lawyers are using the fitbit info in a case to prove someone is less active after an injury, since she could have just worn it less. And then, they're upset that every new invention has to be mined for data and used against the consumer.

I can't say I disagree with anything they discussed in the video. What does this have to do with the false accusation other than the use of a fitbit?

The FitBit's are fitness trackers and do not track GPS 24/7, you're phone logs betray you more in that respect. People also use them willingly for the health benefits of having better data. The high end unit does have GPS, but it only tracks during exercise and the rest of the time it's just movement and barometer based.
The device was a piece of evidence found at the crime scene.
The police felt her story was suspicious without the FitBit data. ( Fallen snow around the property showed no tracks, story was not adding up, she was facing serious stress in her life, ... )
Damn straight police can and will subpoena or use all easily available data to investigate the open case.
If not the police then the defense would be fully entitled to access the logs during the disputed timeframe to refute her story.
None of the current cases entitles the police to go on a fishing expedition. They wouldn't want to anyways since the data doesn't show much of value to the police unless they are working a very specific case.

Would it be any different if this was a dropcam or another other piece of connected electronics at the scene?

This is the same as if you recorded a video of you singing or recording a vine during the time you were "apparently" assaulted. Congratulations technology can be used to protect and prosecute you.

Wargame4life · 2015-07-05T09:58:17+00:00

two separate issues you moron. the fact you can't see this is fucking retarded

Frogtarius · 2015-07-05T11:23:33+00:00

The young Turks suck, they are part of the SJW problem.

2015-07-05T12:12:40+00:00

translation: Beware, if you are falsely accusing someone of rape don't forget to leave your devices at home. Disgusting.

2015-07-05T22:58:08+00:00

The Young Turks have been psychotic demagogues for a decade now.

icecow · 2015-07-05T11:25:29+00:00

OP doesn't understand technology or law.

Let me explain it this way..

So all a woman has to do is steal your fitbit and make it look like you were somewhere your not and your heart rate is fast to get you convicted? because a jury sees fitbit data and think OH MY GOD HE DID IT!!

Busangod · 2015-07-05T05:59:22+00:00

I think she's upset that this story interrupted her freshman homecoming dance.

The woman speaking in the video is nakedly an airhead.
