Facebook can't access them though. This is a strange concept to some people, but an insecure method of communication can still be secure against some parties. One of the best examples is RC4 - the NSA and GCHQ are reading everything you send/receive encrypted with RC4, but likely nobody else, at least for now (although that could change at any time; another reason to eliminate it everywhere).

Once you voluntarily give the police — or carriers — permission to read your text messages, all bets are off.
