The headline is exaggerated to make the cops sound like idiots. If they suspect someone might be a drug dealer (fair - it's a clue), that's very different from thinking they "must" be a drug dealer.

Your characterization is under-exaggerated to make this problem sound normal. It's not.
> Every time we see a Google Pixel, we suspect it might belong to a drug dealer
Being a Pixel or GrapheneOS user should never be a "clue" of criminality. It should never result in police detaining you or rummaging through your phone. Any police that acts in this way is indeed an "idiot."
It would be if they did that, and maybe they do, but the article doesn't say they do that. You've added your own assumption.
Of course they do. What else do you think they're going to do? Keep their "suspicions" to themselves?

This means something, you know.
