\"Fitibit_Flex\"After viewing part of the new OJ drama on television last night, I recalled seeing the white bronco drama unfolding on my own small television one summer law school.\u00a0 The trial.\u00a0 The glove.\u00a0 The compliments on counsel’s hair.\u00a0 The verdict.\u00a0 It was fodder for a very hungry news machine.\u00a0 As I watched the white bronco speeding down the highway again last night, I considered what the coverage of such an event would be now.\u00a0 It would “telegraphed” by every iphone, tweet, Instagram, website, text, Snap chat, facebook post, blog and so forth now.\u00a0 The frenzy would make shark week look like your kid’s fish bowl.<\/p>\n

The media’s insatiable hunger for news has only increased and so has technology.\u00a0 I awoke this morning to find yet another use of technology in the law.\u00a0 Now your Fitbit could be used against you.\u00a0 In other words, you may have the right to remain silent, but your Fitbit does not.<\/p>\n

It counts steps.\u00a0 It tracks your heart rate.\u00a0 It knows when you are sleeping. It knows when you’re awake.\u00a0 It can give an implication if you’ve been bad or good…. so be good for liability’s sake.<\/p>\n

So, over coffee this morning, I marinated on this question, no matter what side of the verdict you were on, “What if OJ had been wearing a Fitbit?”<\/p>\n
