>So you want cost the taxpayer significantly with potentially months of unneeded work and expose cops to potentially more danger to ultimately arrive at the same result? How exactly is this better? Because my privacy and that of most others who are decent, law-abiding citizens is more important than not making police do their jobs. How do you think police caught people before apps like Signal? With real police work. Perhaps if they had to spend more time doing that, they wouldn't have time to beat and kill as many unarmed civilians.
