San Francisco police raid house of and detain man for buying an iPhone X

7 AM. The guy finds a police SWAT detail at his apartment door with a battering ram and pry bar and a warrant. He lets them in, is immediately handcuffed (suffering a wrist injury affecting his design work), and is whisked off to a police station. Never told what is going on. His wife is getting out of the shower, told to sit on the couch wrapped in a towel. She's never told what they're looking for. Eventually they either find, or they tell her and she shows them the receipt for a recently purchased iPhone X. They radio the police station, husband is brought home in a patrol car without ever telling him why he was detained. Cops leave.

Turns out they bought the phone at the same store that was robbed on the X's release day. 300 phones were stolen from a UPS truck, and apparently this guy's electronic serial number mistakenly matched one of the units reported stolen. So someone at Apple or somewhere down the line screwed up.

Regardless, SFPD screwed up BIGLY. This was a knock and talk situation, two detectives could have resolved this with an interview. The manpower alone exceeded the cost of a $1200 phone, and the settlement these people will get from suing SFPD will be a lot higher than that.
