Most programmers actually hate computers and now just want "cloud APIs" for everything so they don't have to think about how networking/systems/storage all works together. Most law enforcement officers actually hate the law and just want "privacy APIs" for everything so they don't have to think about how searches/seizures/privacy all works together.

  That's debatable depending upon what you're using it for.

Strange. Putting these systems in the cloud just gives you different problems. It doesn't really make them go away.

Most law enforcement officers don't know what an API is, so I don't know why you're saying they want them and putting it in quotes. Basically, you're just making stuff up.
