"They in jeopardy me," Calderón told SF Weekly. "We don't know anything about [the iPhone prototype], still, to this day."
Frightened, Calderón authorised the "officers" to poke his home as well as his car. He additionally authorised them to check his mechanism to see which inclination he had continuous to it. In the process, a single of the officers in jeopardy to call immigration officials on Calderón's family, all of whom have been in the US legally.
