It is encrypted, just not e2ee.

The police need to crack the encryption protocol (not impossible, telegram use non-standard crypto), or somehow gain access to telegram's server farm.

Wasn't it fixed? It was almost e2ee, but not really due to a bug as it trusted the server, but it was fixed save for key verification, but AFAIK, key verification is an open problem in e2ee.

That's not true. Nobody needs to crack any encryption. Check my other comment with 3 links.
