The SWAT team was looking for guns and other material related to a carjacking that had occurred that morning.
So it wasn’t for the airpods themselves, but rather airpods being in the stolen car was how they attempted to find the carjackers. While the police definitely screwed up, the article author is going out of their way to create the most rage inducing headline possible.
The air pods did lead them to that street, then the cops just apparently picked a random house to raid.
So it’s accurate, but it would have been best to add “following armed carjacking”.
But the real issue is the overuse of raids and judges being way to fucking lenient with warrants.
Both things Biden claims he reigned in two years ago via executive order. I know because whenever I point out how not enough is done about our policing issues, people keep telling me everything is fine and Biden already fixed this and I should stop worrying about it.
Clearly it’s still happening and people are being traumatized. Luckily this time the police didn’t murder anyone at least.
But none of these cops or the judge who signed a bullshit warrant will ever be held accountable.
It’s not accurate, it uses nearby apple devices. If your iPhone picks up the air pods then it will point to an area where your iPhone is located. It can’t pinpoint the exact location. This wasn’t disclosed to the judge when the warrant was applied for. The police omitted critical information because they knew their warrant would be denied. Hopefully, a federal court will make things right, unfortunately, the police will keep their jobs.
Clickbait? These people had their home broken into and ransacked by a bunch of goons pointing rifles at them for absolutely no reason other than incompetence. They didn’t even fix the damage they cause as noted at the end of the article.
SWAT raid for Airpods seems like a misuse of public money. (among other things)

The author does not write the headlines.
Unfortunate for them that their name is right under the headline. Does the editor write the headline?
The sub-editor writes it.
Then what does the dom-editor do all day?
Makes sure the naughty little subs do their jobs.
Typical clickbait

“Over stolen airpods” lead me to think that there wasn’t any other reason for the SWAT presence than that.
Is it really the article headline that makes you think that or the reputation of policing in America?
Headline made me think it, it does seem to imply that
The majority of police departments are a misuse of public money. We need actual public safety and welfare.
In Albuquerque 911 will tell you to find a station and put in a claim lol. These guys brought a whole team out.
Precisely. They probably needed to hit some SWAT quota to get the same SWAT budget next fiscal year.
