Wow using Apple’s security feature to help maintain law and order, now that’s real police work. I guess security and privacy does go hand in hand. Oops, better not type that too loudly, it may not be viewed as patriotic in some spots.
And this, “Drugs, ammunition, cash and the helpful iPad were taken in among a host of evidence found at the rented accommodation.” what a bonus, a host of evidence to explore and connect some dots. Looks like these police will have their work cut out for them, but I suspect they know how to work.
Better send the fib to Thailand so they can learn how to do real investigation.
Gauging from prior history I think if the FIB went there it would be to invade the country or get the “Ma Diaw” to join them.
You have a good day sir.
FIB?

Cops 1, bad guys 0. That’s a good day.
Thankfully there are still stupid criminals out there who fail to realize the theft of Apple goods will lead authorities to them resulting in quality contemplative & painful time being generously poked in the pokey.
Thats stepping on the gang members privacy rights isnt it Mr. Cook?
