The law doesn't prevent any one, breaking into your home, ask any one (including myself, but came of pretty lightly) who has ever been burgled. The law may or may not protect you after the fact. The consequences of survalliance and data collection is also in no way comparable to home security. Currently the law in most (if not all western countries), the state has provisions for searching your home too, but requires oversight from a (hopefully) neutral judge. Short of completely changing the nature of goverments and their agencies operate, nothing will change. As it stands it is up to the individual to protect themselves, which given the general publics understanding of digital security and crypto, is a really bad place to be.
