SWAT Team Raids Innocent Family Over Stolen AirPods Dropped on Their Street

[fooferdoggie]

A pair of AirPods and what lawyers say was some shoddy police work resulted in an innocent middle-class Ferguson family having their front door smashed in by the St. Louis County SWAT team last May.

Around 6:30 p.m. on May 26, Brittany Shamily was at home with her children, including an infant, when police used a battering ram to bust in her front door. “What the hell is going on?” she screamed, terrified for herself and her family. “I got a three-month-old baby!”

Body camera footage from the scene shows Shamily come to the front door, her hands up, her face a mix of fright and utter confusion at the heavily armed folly making its way from her front porch into her foyer. “Oh my god,” she says.

the thing is AirPods only ping if the case is open. so once its closed they are invisible.

You have to rule out billions in business fraud, stolen top secret documents and overthrowing the US Government as the cause for the raid, because we know they send you a fruit basket and ask to set up a convenient time to visit and talk about what happened.

So AirPods seems to make the most sense here. Grand crimes demand proportional reactions.
