Four arrested for selling illegal Amazon Fire TV Sticks

[douche]

Four people have been arrested for selling illegal Amazon Fire TV Sticks at a local flea market in Polk County.

According to detectives, the suspects were selling “jail-broken” versions of the TV Sticks that allow users to steal internet connection.

Polk County Sheriff, Grady Judd, says the suspects were caught after selling the devices to undercover deputies for about a hundred dollars each.

“On each of the times that we made a purchase of this illegal product from the sellers, they all admitted, this is how you avoid paying communication services fees. Well, they weren’t that technical, they said ‘this is how you get free TV,'” Sheriff Judd said.

Sheriff Judd says if you have jail-broken fire sticks, you’re committing a misdemeanor when you use the streaming services without paying for them.

He advises those who purchased the device to throw it away.

the presser is pure jokes

I don’t see why not

Your IP address is attached to everything you do....

Problem is i doubt they care.....

Yet.

Listen....i would imagine that the majority of people these days are using some type of ‘illegal’ app....

They are so easy to use these days...all you need is a little know-how and a YouTube video to walk you through it

Wasting money. Go prosecute some real crimes

doing this easy work. Going to flea markets and trying to hurt poor folks. Go open up some of those cold case files and do the legwork.

This is bullshyt No one is stealing, most streaming devices are paid for and selling a jailbroken Firestick is legal, hence the setting to do it is right in the Firestick menu

For one, the true cost of bandwidth is one of the most inflated products in history. fukk them companies
