Stranger than fiction.

summarizes the document:"The police were investigating the theft of a truck that had occurred the day before, and the owner of the truck reported that there were six weapons in the truck that was stolen. He also had an old iPhone 11 in the truck, and he reported to the detective that he had used the Find My app to track the location of the truck after it was stolen — and he said that it pinged to our client's house.

"A minute of Googling" would have let Staab know that the app hadn't pinpointed the iPhone to Johnson's house, Silverstein suggests — and."The information Apple puts out about the app says that because the large blue circle in the screenshot the owner sent encompassed a number of properties and houses in the neighborhood, the precise location of the phone could not be identified," he notes.

"I've done some research, and while there are a few cases where the Find My app was a piece of evidence about where something might be, I haven't found anything where law enforcement relied solely on the app," he says."There was always additional corroboration and evidence — so the iPhone app was just a piece of it.

The SWAT team used a battering ram on Johnson's garage door, and in the fruitless search that followed,"a prized doll from our client's collection had its head broken off — and the things in her home were left in disarray," Silverstein recounts. And although almost a year has passed since the raid, Johnson still"feels unsafe in her home," he adds.
