This appears to be a clear case of product placement in order to soften up the public to the introduction and use of Cellbrite by UK Police / Stasi.

Over the past decade, Cellebrite – an Israeli technology company – has become the go-to supplier for British police forces wanting to crack phones.
The firm is contracted by the FBI and security services worldwide. It has quickly come to dominate the domestic policing market for mobile phone forensics. “Mobile phone examination has become absolutely routine,” says Peter Sommer, a professor at Birmingham City University and digital forensics expert witness, who has observed its use in the investigation of high-level crime.
Police documents seen by the Cable back up Sommer’s assessment. They reveal that over the past few years, mobile phone examination has been rolled out to local officers for investigating lower-level crime on a mass scale. The types of crimes that can warrant a mobile phone search include the likes of assault, burglary and traffic offences.

According to Avon and Somerset procurement records, the force uses a combination of in-house and external services to crack phones and digital devices. The South West Digital Forensics team consists of Avon and Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Wiltshire, and Dorset police forces.
