Join Angie and Bree for Round #2 with Brenda and Christi who share more tips on Review and try not to frighten us too terribly with horror stories of Reviews Gone Wrong!

We're not in Kansas anymore! In this episode, we explore the pivotal role of IoT (Internet of Things) data in litigation and the challenges of collecting it. From fitbit data exposing an alibi to pacemaker data revealing the truth behind a suspicious fire, these cases underscore the importance of IoT data in modern investigations. IoT devices are increasingly generating vast amounts of data that can be valuable in litigation. This data can provide insights into a person's movements, activities, and even their health. However, collecting IoT data can be challenging due to various factors such as device encryption, data privacy concerns, and the need for specialized tools and expertise.
