Cops in [Spain] think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer (androidauthority.com)

One random cop makes one ignorant statement and now all "cops in Spain" think something.

Now we just need every other citizen to understand the benefits of GrapheneOS. Glad to see some people are catching up.

There's an opinion that it's part of coordinated campaign, not just slow news day.

The police in Spain can thank there lucky stars that they are not dealing with the drug gangs in Mexico and South America, where they are flying militerised drones, and are trying to build narco drone subs with starlink

In other words, drug dealers are privacy-conscious and the Google Pixel is one of the strongest hardware platforms for privacy-aware configurations.

Sounds like an astroturfing stunt from either Google or GrapheneOS
