A Denver detective was sued after he found SWAT at his grandmother’s house due to a glitch in the Locator app.
The incident fell ill almost a year ago. On January 3, 2022, a truck was stolen from the Denver Hyatt. According to the owner, there were six firearms, two drones, $4,000 in cash and an iPhone 11 in Germany.
The next day, the truck owner reported the discovery to Gary Staab that the iPhone 11 International Surveillance Locator app was located at the address where 77-year-old Ruby Johnson lives.
The detective is reached along with SWAT at this address. During the raid, the police broke down the front door and kicked out the garage door. They also destroyed the collectible dolls during a search that turned up nothing. The woman at that moment was sitting in a police car.
Johnson sued Staaba for the search itself and damage to property. The lawsuit alleges that the detective’s actions violated Johnson’s constitutionally granted offense “not subject to unreasonable searches and seizures.”
Stub was unable to independently verify the exact location of the truck. As a specified person, he was not entitled to use Latitude, which also shows the approximate geolocation.
After the search, neither Staab nor the police department issued an apology. In addition, the management refused to pay for the repair of the destroyed doors. Apologies from the Denver Police Department only after filing the lawsuit. [Appleinsider]
