In May 2023, a raid by the St. Louis County SWAT team shattered the door of an innocent Ferguson family. The chaotic incident at Brittany Shamily’s home stemmed from a flawed search warrant based on inaccurate tracking of stolen AirPods.
The SWAT team, expecting firearms related to a carjacking that took place 12 hours prior and 16 miles away, found nothing. A friend of the carjacking victims said that his AirPods were in the stolen car, and that police could track them using Find My.
