Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Basically, if you don't have a phone the cops can easily backdoor, you must be a criminal.
"What do you have to hide?" taken to it's logical conclusion.
... and if it's an obscenely expensive one.
Normal people either can't afford these devices or don't have time for all the hassle of installing and using a rare operating system on a phone.
Pixels are mid range if you buy a generation back. I have 6a and paid $250 two years ago.
No one forces you to root your Pixel, you are allowed to use it with stock android.
My condolences
Well shit. Guess I need a battery
