agree to The SF Weekly , Apple investigators looking into the neglect iPhone 5 may have been impersonating San Francisco police officer . That ’s a crime .
The SF Weekly reached Sergio Calderón , who believeshe was the mortal relate to as a suspect in a CNET story claim that an iPhone 5 was lose in a bar . He tells The SF Weekly that six people with badges claiming to be San Francisco constabulary officers block off at his domicile and get down enquire doubt about the missing iPhone 5 . At least one of these men was actually an Apple employee .

With Calderón ’s consent , the six searched his nursing home , automobile and computer . The SF Weekly also notes that the investigators questioned Calderón and his family ’s in-migration status . He tells the Weekly that at no decimal point did tec ever claim to be make for on behalf of Apple , and he still has no melodic theme who was in his house , or rifling through the file on his computer .
“ They threatened me , ” Calderón told The SF Weekly . “ We do n’t make love anything about it , still , to this day . ”
The San Francisco Police Departmenttold Gizmodo it has no cognition of the lookup .

Update : The San Francisco law section has changed its account . It now say some policeman did play along Apple investigator to Calderón ’s home . They did not enter the home , and Calderón was under the impression that the plain Apple investigators who did enter his home were part of the SFPD .

However , The SF Weekly did get hold of one of them Man who search Calderón ’s home plate . Anthony Colon left his contact information with Calderón . The Weekly called him . It turn out Colon is not a extremity of the San Francisco police department at all . He ’s a former San Jose cop who now works for Apple . According to his LinkedIn profilehe ’s a senior investigator for Apple . ( Colon come along to have taken his LinkedIn profile down . Here ’s the Google hoard . ) The San Francisco police are appear into what go down .
It would not be the first time Apple hasused individual security measures to hunt down down news leak . However , if the mass who stopped in at Calderon ’s home were not with the San Francisco police , that ’s a law-breaking . And if they were with the SFPD , they had an obligation to report the information to the section , which did not hap .

So , away from Colon , who were the other five “ officers ” that turn back by Calderón ’s dwelling house and threaten him ? Were they off - obligation SFPD ? Were they members of REACT , the special unit ( thesame building block that foray into Jason Chen ’s home last year ) charge with investigating computer crime ? Why were they interview Calderón ’s in-migration condition ? If you fuck anything , pleaseget in trace .
