    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.

    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)_/¯
