You are a troll and losing respect as a news site daily.


The police assist victims retrieve stolen cars, laptops, phones all the time. University police helped me retrieve a stolen laptop just six months ago after I tracked it down and asked what to do. And we approached it the same way, confronting the person so they could return my "lost" property without having to file charges.


Really is that why there has been no OSNews story about the utter incompetence shown by the Dutch certificate provider Diginotar and the corrupt Dutch officials that tried to cover up the extent of the damage and which has affected every operating system with a browser to issue patches? That story has no news value compared to some propaganda swipe at Apple? If you really want to use the "this is appropriate because Apple is a tech company" line you really need to grow some self-awareness.

Also, name calling in caps makes you seem like a bigger douche than hopefully you are irl. Beginning to doubt that too.

You apparently have no issues with living in a state where the police will trample all over your constitutional rights just to protect a company ... [some utterly unrelated nonsense about outsourcing]

A) The police did nothing but stand outside.

B) This guy apparently chose to let private citizens who accused him of theft into his house in order I suppose to prove his innocence.

C) If Apple employees pretended to be police, they are guilty of a serious crime. I have not seen any complaint made by this individual, have you? He was probably too busy trying to sell his story to engadget or gizmodo so they can take advantage of the foaming at the mouth fanboism of people like you to make a few bucks before people move on to the next bullshit story.

Please state which constitutional right was "trampled". Also, would you have rather Apple didn't call the police and instead raided the house with a gang in the middle of the night? Personally, I'm glad the police were there and not the opposite. By the way, do you ever let anything as simple as the facts stand in the way of your absurd grandstanding?


Yes it sure is a good thing that people who have no attention spans, apparently can't read, and have zero common sense or understanding of the law agree with you. Yay, for PR spin masquerading as critical thought! Maybe you could emigrate to the US and run for political office in the Tea Party.
