I was expecting something much more damning from the title, but the article goes on about how Apple is helping police use their own iPhones/CarPlay as platforms for their work... which just seems like good business sense? This seems more parallel to their marketing campaigns for healthcare industry than anything along the lines of sharing data with law enforcement, which this article does not insinuate even once. Is it controversial if police use iPhones/iPads instead of the in-car touchpads? If anything it makes me feel just a little bit better about security. Do we really want Accenture or whatever building these solutions instead?

As opposed Google selling you out to other businesses?
