You're ignoring the main point of the comment you're replying to, which is that laws like this mean they can arbitrarily charge whoever they like because everyone is constantly in violation of some law. The argument that we should trust the police not to use this power irresponsibly doesn't stand up when they're shown again and again that they are very happy to abuse such powers despite promising not to do so when the law is brought in. The UK government has made it clear they want to prevent anyone from hiding data from them and criminalising encryption and selectively enforcing that law is one way to achieving that.
