You Fitbit users out here may want to read this and consider how you use Fitbit in the future:

Although in this case, the data is being used in the subject's favor, I can see instances where such data could be use against a Fitbit owner.

Facebook data, Twitter data, etc, has been used in the courtroom for quite a while now.

Comment?

    Dang, no more bank robberies while I'm out jogging?
    Simple, have another friend wear your Fitbit in a different location (preferably far away) on the day of the planned bank heist.
    "No, your honour, I was not at the bank. As my Fitbit data shows I was running at the park."
