An elderly Colorado woman is suing a Denver police detective who ordered a SWAT raid on her house after it was falsely pinged by Apple's 'Find my' app as the location of several stolen items — including six firearms and an old iPhone.
The complaint alleges there were two main problems with that: first, Staab allegedly failed to attempt to independently corroborate the alleged location of the stolen items before carrying out the raid; and secondly, the "Find My" app is used to determine approximate locations and "is not intended as a law enforcement tool," according to the complaint.
According to the filing, officers damaged Johnson's home as they kept her sitting in a police car, even after she told them there was nothing stolen in the house. The complaint alleges they used a battering ram to “destroy’ the back garage door and door frame — even after Johnson gave them instructions about how to open the garage door.
