The "cops ODing on fentanyl they touch in crime scenes" thing is not medically possible. It's always the cops having a panic attack from thinking they're about to OD because they touched some fentanyl. They get taken to the hospital, tested, and no trace of fentanyl is found in their bloodstream...but the media (and police) make a huge deal of it all and leave out the "and no fentanyl was found in their blood" because it's embarrassing. The only way an officer could be exposed to fentanyl is by ingesting it, not touching it.
