Encryption vs safety? This is carefully framed in a way that ignores the safety provided by proper encryption. This isn't "encryption vs safety", but actual safety of secure communication and personal data vs possible safety of solving a few more criminal cases. As koenigdavidmj already mentioned, one of the key principles of a free society is that liberty and justice is more important than law enforcement convenience. It is better to let the guilty go free than infringing the rights of the innocent. The police will simply have to be more creative and find alternative ways to do their work. Of course, the FBI and congress already knows this, as Susan Landau already explained this in her testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1GgnbN9oNw#t=12944 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1GgnbN9oNw#t=12944
