lots of headlines recently of cops getting busted. reading through the articles, it looks like some cloud backup provider for verizon phones started scanning, and filed reports, which led to investigations, which lead to tracking down the phone, which led them to a cop's house. many such cases follow that same pattern.
police work attracts people who like to abuse power, so we shouldn't be to suprised tbh
