I guess I’m in the minority here, but personally I would prefer UK law enforcement to have judge mediated access to encrypted data. Why? Because I’m a law abiding citizen who thinks the police do a good job in general and I want them to be able to keep my kids safe from drugs, my property safe from theft and so on. Sorry that this is unfashionable. Of course, this will not stop crinimals from using dark web tools and so on - and it will not stop me from using encryption (steganosis anyone?) if I feel like it.

That sort of naiveté is only possible if you’ve never had to interact with the police, especially as a non-white or non-native Brit. Try going to a protest if you’d like to see evidence of this. “Good” police may be possible, but it’s not what the UK has.
