Apparently they hired a former police officer whose specialty was disguising surveillance equipment.

Which kind of tracks. If you want specialty cases for your Raspberry Pi units to blend with your environment, it's not a bad choice per se.

So many people believe he's going to be building backdoors on the silicon. That's not what he does.

Did he disguise surveillance equipment to spy on citizens without a warrant?

Possible, but it's also kind of irrelevant. Essentially there's nothing within his described skill set that would affect the Raspberry Pi boards themselves.
