Did Apple security personnel impersonate SF Police?

  You can tell right off the guy isn't too bright because he allowed (what he thought were) police to search his home just by showing up, which is one of the most fundamental rights you have in this country. Can you just imagine if warrantless home searches were as common as Terry Stops? Yikes. BTW anyone who still thinks losing the phone was a publicity stunt really need to reconsider - when Apple hires and sends goons out like this, they aren't playing around.

    Even smart people can be intimidated.

      Yes I can agree on that - but on the street searching your person or car, cops are trained to trick you. But into your home? Really? This guy isn't a teenager, he's old enough to have seen and know better. Does he never watch the news? There's being polite and then there's keeping you and your family safe.

        According to this article, they threatened his family's immigration status. Since he hadn't done anything wrong, complying was probably the safer route.
