That's wrong, GDPR explicitly applies to government agencies, police, etc.

Eurpol is currently on trial for violating it, as was the German BND previously.

The GDPR doesn't apply to the police, at least not in their capacity as law enforcement.

But it does have sister legislation - the Law Enforcement Directive[0] - that does apply many of the same principals.
