Headline is slightly misleading, it was that a pair of carjackers stole a car that had AirPods within it so the police used the Find My location of those AirPods to therefore believe they could sent SWAT around to this lady's address.
Because it is difficult to call in whom lives at a home or see a car.
They picked a random house near the iPod location and assaulted it like a bunch of amateur goons. The headline is misleading, but the police are guilty of multiple crimes and should all be facing ACA charges. Every single one of them.
Makes more sense
