Police State: SWATTED Over Apple Location Data | The David Knight Show

➡ The David Knight Show talks about how a family in Denver is suing Apple after the company’s “Find My Location” service mistakenly led a SWAT team to their home, causing fear and property damage. The mix-up happened when stolen AirPods were thrown out of a car and landed near their house, leading the police to believe the thieves were inside. The family was forced out of their home at gunpoint and questioned for hours before being released without charges. They argue that the misuse of Apple’s tracking service and the excessive police response are part of a larger problem with privacy and police militarization.

And then we have the Swat raids. The SWat raids that just keep going. This SWAT raid happened on an innocent family, and it was caused by Apple’s find my location service. This has to be ended, folks. These SWAT team raids must be stopped. I mean, look at this weaponized, militarized police state. And I’ve said so many times. And this is yet another example of Brazil in 1984, when Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame did his take on 1984.

This dark satirical comedy, and the raid at the beginning of it, which is based on mistaken identity, it was so over the top. I remember looking at, like, whoa. That’s nothing compared to the real raids that are happening all the time in this country. And here’s this one in Denver. This family has now filed a lawsuit against Apple, claiming that its companies find my location service led to a wrongful SWAT raid on their home, causing emotional distress and property damage.

The family’s harrowing ordeal began when a pair of Apple AirPods that had been in a stolen vehicle were erroneously pinpointed at their address by the app. Unbeknownst to the family, this would soon lead to a terrifying encounter with heavily armed law enforcement officers. What happened was the guys who stole the car through the Airpods out the window, and it landed in the street in front of these people’s house.

And on that basis, they had a SWAT team bust in on them. Lucky they weren’t killed. After the SWAt raid of their home, the stolen Airpods are found on the road, thrown out in front of it. But this is what happened to the family. They said they were awakened by the sounds of multiple vehicles pulling up to their residents. See, evil works in the dark, doesn’t it? You know, we have a government that doesn’t care about sunshine laws or sunset, anything.

We have a government that operates in the dark, against the law, without search warrants, without any regard to the safety of anyone. This militarized police state that has now been normalized. So they pull up in the middle of the night, bright lights shining into the home, followed by officers loudly commanding those inside to exit the front door. The family, including their children, were forced to exit their home at gunpoint, only to be detained and questioned for hours before being released without any charge.

So they are suing both Apple and the security industry specialists that were taxed with tracking down the stolen vehicle. And as I point out, people have used the Apple find my location and some of these other things that Apple has to stalk people to do other things. But these swap raids just keep going on and on. The civil asset forfeiture, where we’ve turned our highway patrol into highway robbers, that continues to go on.

Here’s the latest example. This. And we’ve had a lot of examples out of California, because even when the state law says that marijuana is legal and, you know, people can open up stores and things like that, you still have the federal government doing these back door, illegal moves in the dark, trying to get the. The local police to defy state law and work with the feds, cutting them in with 20%.

I’m sorry, 80% of what they steal. 20% goes to the feds, and then 80% goes to the cops who steal the stuff. And I say steal because that’s what it is. It’s not forfeiture. It’s not asset forfeiture. It’s theft. They call it civil because it’s based on bureaucratic rules, not on the rule of law. And whatever you think about marijuana, and this is not about marijuana. This is about the law and whether or not the states are going to respect the law, whether or not they’re going to respect the Constitution, because the federal government not only does not respect the constitution enough to go through the process to legally outlaw marijuana, as they did alcohol with the 18th amendment and then the 21st amendment made it legal again.

Not only do they not respect the Constitution, but they don’t respect state law. They work secretly and behind the scenes to bribe the police to steal the stuff. It is so corrupt from the get go. And this should concern us regardless of what we think about the drug issues. Those are two separate things. You want to prohibit alcohol, pass a constitutional amendment like they did with alcohol anyway.

And a California city was forced to return hundreds of pounds of cannabis to a pot distributor. The wholesale value was $800,000, but it was worth well over a million dollars in terms of retail value. Costa Mesa police officers returned the massive shipment of cannabis last week to a cannabis distributor in the city called Seven Leaf. The authorities had accused the company of illegally operating and seized the cannabis in September of last year.

The owner of the company said he was happy to get his cannabis back after his attorneys explained that he was operating legally. The David Knight show is a critical thinking super spreader.
