They can easily read all the signal messages they want, by getting the phone Signal was installed on(assuming the user is logged into Signal, which 99% chance the answer is yes). They are not willing or able to do that for whatever reason, but the ability exists. I agree the technology used is a secondary issue, but Law Enforcement got lazy when they were able to wire-tap phones willy nilly whenever they wanted. They need to get un-lazy again. They can do all they want to do without needing un-encrypted traffic, un-encrypted traffic just makes them not have to work as hard. I'm fine with them having to work harder instead of them getting to see all the communications they could ever dream of.
