    That Apple has kept its work with cops largely under wraps indicates the company is aware that providing tech for police surveillance operations is inherently at odds with its pro-privacy marketing

    This is an odd statement. I think what they mean is that it’s private for the individual cop but that is not what they want for the department. If Apple then makes a ‘cop version’ that has backdoor access for legality purposes, that code via a bug could make it into everyone’s phones. So yes in that regard but not just that they are working with cops (I would hope). I think they are just not releasing a business plan until they are 100% on it
