“Gotcha. Throw it out of the court. But it's also worth noting that the fire stick, like many Android devices, doesn't actually require root access to install unauthorized apps. Literally, just flip a switch in the settings and you can install apps directly without having to go to the app store.”

“As a term, it was first popularized in reference to exploits that allow people to install unauthorized software on Apple iPhones. And that started way back like when there wasn't even an official way to add third-party apps. I did it for many years.”

“Okay, a fire stick or an Amazon fire TV stick, as it's officially called, is, it's like a Roku. It's a smart device that you plug into your TV so you can watch Netflix or play games or whatever. And they run a version of Android. So they're relatively easy to customize with software beyond what's available in Amazon's App Store. Much easier to customize than, say, an Apple TV or Heroku. And Sheriff Judd is calling these devices, quote, jailbroke.”

“We started an undercover investigation, and here's what we found out. You can see the fire sticks. All four of the people we arrested admitted they were jailbroke fire sticks. Your clue jail broke fire sticks. A jail broke fire stick was sold between 80 and 107 dollars by these four folks that I'll introduce to you in a minute.”

“So we thought we would start with our investigation that began in the month of October as a result of a concerned citizen that came to us and said, you know, I think they're doing illegal stuff out of that international flea market.”

“Sheriff Grady Judd just in my day to day life. In your day-to-day life, you probably wouldn't encounter him unless you live in Polk County, Florida. Where he's the sheriff and where he's conducting this press conference from.”

“Everybody, it's Neili from Decoder. We've got a little treat on the feed for you today. A few weeks ago, I was a guest on a show called Under Understood. That's a podcast hosted by some of my favorite former Verge Staffers, where they explore strange corners of tech and culture. They had me on to talk about a truly strange story where a sheriff in Florida held a full-on press conference after busting a bunch of older folks selling jailbroken fire TV sticks in a flea market. It is really something the story goes in all kinds of directions, and I thought the decoder audience would enjoy it quite a bit. So we're going to run it in the feed. Check it out and enjoy.”
