>Apple and SIS have a qualified law enforcement privilege that allows them to err in store security-related accusations and not be sued for it.

that is the gist. They don't care because they can do all that stuff and can't be held responsible.

I'm a bit speechless... Can someone explain how does this scheme can even exist? It sounds preposterous.

Apple chief of security was recently indicted on a charge of a bribe to Santa Clara county sheriff, and the case was dismissed last month. There are 3006 counties in US, and one can let the imagination run wild :)

I don't want to take away anything from your argument but that case is a bad example. There was no evidence to show corrupt evidence and it was dismissed as such.
