What if it wasn't a prototype iphone?

Socratesfoot 3rd May 2010

What if an average Joe Smith walked into a bar and left his phone? How long would it sit there before someone took it? Let's say you have nude pictures of yourself on the phone, when you got the phone back, would you be thankful the person returned it or have the police storm the home of the man who picked it up and then confiscate his computer on the chance he might have taken the content off? Would a court even allow such an act? The answer is, "No"...Apple is manipulating the law in a way no individual could and that amounts to simple corporate bullying.

That said, I have a prototype iPhone on me and I take it to a bar, then leave it? Suspicious. more likely the person with the phone was stalked and pick-pocketed. We all know it. Even though this is the case however, the sad reality is they have no proof.

I'm sure this "search" of the home was to try and get evidence the phone was stolen not found. But the legality of the means by which they are trying to get this information is loathsome and wrong.
