At Apple’s secretive Global Police Summit at its Cupertino headquarters, cops from seven countries learned how to use a host of Apple products like the iPhone, Vision Pro and CarPlay for surveillance and policing work.

    In a quick read

    What I expect to see: How apple enables police to invade our privacy

    What I actually see: 3 apps that digitize paperwork and help police do thier job on iPhone, and CarPlay

    Conclusion: It looks like WWDC but for the cops. It is nothing wrong to use iPhone or whatever phone to make work more efficient. It is a tool after all.

          Man this one of the most slippery slopes I’ve seen in a while.

          There’s red hat linux being used by the government. When are we getting the red hat kill drones?

          Also, military drones and robots already exist without apple markup and are being made with mostly consumer parts now, in case you haven’t been keeping up with the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts. Best just get prepared because if the police want them it won’t matter who sells it to them.

      I work at a company that is developing a carplay app for the police. All it will do is help them get to incidents quicker and make their and the diapatchers lives easier can confirm nothing spooky.

    Forbes always has misleading, anti-Apple click bait.

    When it comes to Apple-related topics, I never click on Forbes articles. Their coverage is inherently misleading, but that strategy must be generating click-through revenue. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      “21 Ways Your iPhone is Spying on You” and it’s always dumb stuff like shady apps asking for permissions mouth breathers are stupid enough to allow. Then their website has 14 trillion tracking scripts loaded up; hypocrites.
