The smart criminals, the ones we truly want to catch - like sophisticated terrorists, organized crime, hackers, are already encrypting their communications. Default encryption on ios8 now protects the digital trail of an otherwise lazy criminal who is more than likely leaving breadcrumbs elsewhere and is largely involved only in petty affairs. Law enforcement just needs to go back to more traditional investigative tactics instead of invading everyone's privacy for the purpose of making their jobs a little easier.
- opendais 12y agoYep. OpSec is more important than encryption anyway and PGP ahs been around forever. People could just use TextSecure too.
- Canada 12y agoRight, but as it is you can't open an image from TextSecure without writing it outside the encrypted sqlite database. Encryption of all data at rest on the device goes a long way to making good opsec more practical and easily achievable.

I'm pretty sure that most people want the non-smart criminals caught, too. I certainly have not heard too many victims or relatives of victims of murder, sex crimes, hate crimes, robbery, gang violence, and the like say that they don't truly want their crimes solved because they were victimized by non-smart criminals.
