You are conflating „state level actor” with „police level action”.

There is a world of difference if you get searched by your local police and a country level agency.

There are military units dealing with forensic investigations they have 100x or 1000x more budget and much smarter people.

But they don’t care about some drug dealers. They don’t waste time on silly stuff.

The military really doesn’t have "much smarter people", the intelligent people are all in private industry, then LEO, THEN the military.

The military is stuffed full of grunts who are just there for the pay, and in many cases, conscription.

You can throw all the money you want at something, it doesn't make it work, just look at the US military
