  They already have the capability to remotely access most modern vehicles, this is built in to cars manufactured in the past few years, along with telemetry that tracks everywhere you drive. Access to bank account details and emails is also routine in police investigations. And they can simply smash your door in if they need access to your house.

  They effectively have all of those things already. You don't need a key to enter a house or a car, and they can get anything they want from your bank and email provider with a subpoena. I agree that giving law enforcement a universal key that can defeat all encryption would be a monumentally stupid idea, but it's not actually necessary to enable them to bypass encryption on specific devices. As far as I can tell, privacy activists have just made up the fact that law enforcement wants a universal key because it's easier to argue against that than to argue in favor of their actual position.
