Google nest ring doorbells and how many more smart home features would fall into this? And if it can tell you who else? Ran into a guy a few weeks back who's house called him at work because the water was off. We were repairing a leak. But it worries people in my line of work because lots of times we want to have the utility off and locked before the customer knows so they're less likely to turn violent.
Amazon sells your data to the police. Entire neighborhoods have removed them.
"what?! they actually bought the screens and talking speakers to put in their OWN HOUSE!?" - orwell

There are both crapple and android apps designed to help you find these that aren't yours. The best ones are modded apk, or you can mod them yourself with apps like lucky patcher.
In the article it says the DEA bought the AirTag and placed it in the box with the pill press and dye. The way this post is framed it makes it appear the DEA turned all Apple AirTags in to surveillance tool. That is not what the article is stating.
Not defending the DEA or stating that 3 letter agencies have not already done so, I am just making sure others are clear about the article.
Air tags work using the Bluetooth devices around it to cray a network. The DEA didn't pay for any of those. I do understand where you're coming from, but think of it like airdrop.
