I was implying that the majority of laws are reasonable and should be followed by all citizens. Monitoring unencrypted communications for dumb criminals who discuss acts that hurt society MIGHT be acceptable. But, there are some laws that might be outdated or against the best interest of society. I'm not sure how those situations should be handled when it comes to monitoring. I actually had drug and tax laws in mind and was hinting at the issue of politicians being paid and influenced by corporations against the best interests of humanity. Though tax laws obviously don't matter in the context of text message snooping, it's just an example to help reinforce the point that the legal system isn't perfect and neither are those who enforce it.
