Apple has democratized stalking for the modern world. With the Airtag you can keep track of your luggage and your estranged spouse.

There's been an uptick in stalking cases with Apple Airtags at the center and the legal system doesn't quite know what to do. Often, the cops and the prosecutors don't even know what an Airtag is. So what do you do when there's technology at the center of your legal battle, technology that the authorities do not understand.
