The San Francisco Police Department is pursuing a "fear and distrust" strategy in an attempt to wreck the city's black market for mobile devices, particularly iPhones, the Huffington Post writes.

The SFPD has reportedly had help from Apple, which loaned a collection of iPhones that were then sold by undercover police officers.
