    Maybe a dumb question, but how the hell would they access my camera/geolocation etc? On e.g. a stock pixel device, would the french police have an actual backdoor through google? Or would it be through compromised shitty apps (like the chat app that was being used by criminals a while back, which was actually made by the police)?

      Probably a targeted attack or perhaps they could go to a provider to request they give you a tailored update. These agencies buy exploits from various firms too.
