Samsung Galaxy S8, Android 8.0.0

In Developer Options, switching on Bluetooth HCI snoop log and doing a bt session with a connected bt device generates a logfile: /data/log/bt/btsnoop_hci.log
However, using
adb pull /data/log/bt/btsnoop_hci.log
generates
adb: error: failed to stat remote object '/data/log/bt/btsnoop_hci.log': Permission denied

And of course the "normal" retrieval of this file by
adb pull /sdcard/btsnoop_hci.log
generates
adb: error: failed to stat remote object '/sdcard/btsnoop_hci.log': No such file or directory

I'm wondering how the developer of this was thinking. "Oh, I have root access so I can retrieve the Bluetooth snoop file at any time" ...

Anyone here have a solution how to retrieve the BT Snoop File on a Samsung Galaxy S8 without rooting your phone?
 
Since the file is probably in a system area, no, you need root access.
 
Yeah, stupid programmer. If I was her boss, she'd be in the basement sorting paper clips for a month ...
