Apple's head of global security Thomas Moyer indicted for trying to bribe Santa Clara sheriff's office with 200 iPads in return for concealed firearm permits
To be fair, it's impossible to get a permit to carry weapons in CA, even if there is a serious threat to your life, which includes umbrella swords... but, yeah. Not the right way to get around it. 🤦🏽♀ ️ https://twitter.com/...
Most states are either ‘shall-issue’ for permits to carry a gun, or ‘constitutional carry’ states allowing it without a permit. But as long as there's a ‘may-issue’ system giving sheriffs complete discretion, there's going to be corruption. https://www.mercurynews.com/ ...
Amazon is hiring Pinkertons and Apple's head of ethics is accused of bribing cops with iPads in order to get a concealed carry permit. Anyway that's Monday. https://morganhilltimes.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Look... sorry but you aren't allowed to bribe people to bend gun laws because you have trade secrets and competitors. @washingtonpost you should be ashamed to have included this clause in the article. Don't make excuses for @Apple when they didn't even give you a comment!!!!! htt…
This story doesn't make sense. Who bribed who? How is this a bribe since they're giving iPads to the entire Sheriff's Dept? https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Apple never donated the iPads, which had a street value of around $70,000, because the company learned about a search warrant being executed in connection with the bribery investigation. https://www.sccgov.org/... https://twitter.com/...
