    Police are not the brightest in any society.

    So I guess somebody needs to tell them that they need to focus their efforts a little better if their current plan is ‘anyone with a Google Pixel is a drug dealer’.

    Can I suggest they start with the people with drugs, rather than the people with the – not uncommon - google phones in their search for drug dealers?

      Police are not the brightest in any society.

      It’s a literal job requirement. If you’re smart, you’re not going to blindly follow orders. Police cognitive testing literally discards candidates that perform well in intellectual tasks. This is not a conspiracy or a joke, it’s how police works.
