That's active surveillance and wiretapping, and is not a backdoor. Backdoors are unacceptable 100% of the time, and should never be legal. A backdoor is a lazy power grab that is either supported in ignorance by technically illiterate useful idiots or supported in full knowledge of the intended partisan abuses of basic civil liberties. Hacking a criminal's phone with compromised software, and/or intercepting their voice & data, is not a backdoor. Backdoors mandate a violation of informed consent, and as such, should be criminalized without exception. There's no place for backdoors in civilized societies.
