WRTV INVESTIAGTES | A new law will take effect July 1 that will make it a crime to track someone without their knowledge.

It’s an update to a problem WRTV Investigates uncovered— people using Apple AirTags, Tile devices and Find My iPhone to stalk people.

In Indianapolis, Marion County prosecutors say Andre Smith’s ex-girlfriend used an Apple AirTag to track Smith to Tilly’s Pub.“It’s mind-boggling, and it’s creepy,” Reneka Day, the aunt of Andre Smith, said. “He was 26 years old. Very humble and soft-spoken.” When WRTV activated the AirTag, we received a message reminding us “AirTag is intended solely to track items that belong to you. Using AirTag to track people without their consent is a crime in many regions around the world.”Five hours after we placed the device, Rachael got an alert on her iPhone that an AirTag was nearby, but she didn’t get the alert until after she’d arrived home.Andrew’s iPhone did not notify him until 24 hours later.
