So kind of a complicated question but im just about ready to swear off my mac so wanna do some investigating...
So I just reccently started working at a comapny in my hometown that sells only apple products, not apple direct ..
So reccently one of our employees got fired for theft, all well and good he got what he deserved...
But our stores owner is saying hes reporting the mac address of stolen property to the local police and through tht they can track a mac address and get a search warrant...
I have no stolen property but this makes me worry about my systems privacy... Some random bloke can phone the police with my mac address and get my door kicked down?
This doesnt seem overly legal to me ...
Im concerned and will ditch the Mac Os all together if this is true, i would expect this from windows but not mac...
looking for some honest answers are valued here...
