    Buying what? Like you don't believe the police can, will, or has done this?

    How could they load software on the phone? They could use stingray systems possibly or any man in the middle but what if your network traffic is behind a vpn, what if your device is secured. I doubt they can simply CONTROL your device and how it operates from a distance reliably and en mass.

    Zero day backdoors without any interaction from the user are proven possible. Look at Pegasus spyware. The majority of data breaches are due to zero day hacks.
