It turns out that a fitness tracker can do more to betray you than showing your friends and families you're a couch potato. It can also undermine your claims about being a victim of a crime.
A Florida woman traveled to Lancaster, Pennsylvania where she stayed at her boss's home. Police were called to the home where they found overturned furniture, a knife and a bottle of vodka. Jeannine Risley told police she'd been sleeping and that she was woken up around midnight and sexually assaulted by a "man in his 30s, wearing boots." However, Risley was wearing her Fitbit band at the time. She initially said that the Fitbit had been lost in the struggle, but police found it in a hallway and when they downloaded its activity, the device became a witness against her.
The device showed Risley was awake and walking around at the time she claimed she was sleeping.
No footprints in the snow around the home. Her boss, telling police that Risley was about to lose her position with the company.
Local authorities charged her with "false reports to law enforcement, false alarms to public safety, and tampering with evidence" for upending the furniture.
