AirTag was introduced by Apple on April 20, 2021. The device, which is produced to prevent the loss of personal belongings, is also used for pets and small children. According to news that emerged today, a police officer in the Cincinnati Police Department in Ohio used an AirTag for his ex. But this brought some problems with it.
Police using AirTag for ex girlfriend lost her job
A cop in Cincinnati, Ohio began tracking his ex with AirTag. As a result of the investigation, whose case has been pending for about a year, it resulted in the dismissal of the police. This decision is expected to set a precedent for many who make the same move.
A police officer named Darryl Tyrus placed an AirTag on his ex-girlfriend’s car. In April, the woman noticed a beeping sound in her car that shouldn’t have happened. The woman who had AirTag sound found the device placed on the floor under the carpet after searching her car.
Thanks to AirTag, a life came back from the dead!
Thanks to Apple’s AirTag, the dog that was dragged in the flood and fell into the sewer was rescued! Here are the details…
The woman followed, who filed a complaint on the subject, learned that while she was going to another friend’s house, she was followed by her ex-boyfriend and even damaged that friend’s car. The police, who also made his girlfriend’s spare key to her house, threatened her if she complained.
Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge made the following statements on the subject:
“What Darryl Tyrus does by knowingly stalking a woman, making her feel threatened and fear for her life, is behavior our officers have sworn to thwart. For the Cincinnati Police Department, community trust is the foundation of what empowers us to carry out our day-to-day duties. Tyrus not only broke that trust, he also broke the law he took an honorable oath to enforce.”
On the other hand, a similar incident had occurred before. In Florida, a police officer was accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend with AirTag, and he was likewise dismissed. Apple has not previously made a statement with this use of AirTags. But he suggests that it should not be used for any living thing.
