Colorado grandma sues as detective used Apple's 'Find My' app to wrongly identify her house for SWAT raid
DENVER, COLORADO: An elderly Colorado woman is suing a Denver police detective who allegedly ordered a SWAT raid on her home after it was incorrectly identified by Apple's "Find my" app as the location of various stolen items, including six weapons and an old iPhone, according to a lawsuit filed on November 30.
The complaint claims that Denver Police Department Detective Gary Staab improperly issued a warrant for the raid of 77-year-old Ruby Johnson's home on January 4 based on what the complaint calls a "hastily prepared, bare-bones, misleading affidavit." The lawsuit was filed in Denver District Court by attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Colorado. Johnson is suing Staab "in his individual capacity," according to the lawsuit. Johnson is asking for a jury trial and unspecified damages.
