Except that this kind of encryption is in the public interest in terms of law enforcement. We have rights against unreasonable searches, we have rights to freedom of thought and expression. We would not have had a civil rights movement if the FBI and local law enforcement could have been monitoring everyone's communication. We would not have legal alcohol today were it not directly because of the polices limited effectiveness against crime. Our greatest reduction in crime came directly from legalization of alcohol and that would not have happened if the government had the control we're talking about handing over to police forces. It's in the public's interest to keep the public safe from the government. We have the lowest crime rates in history, this is not the time to hand the police more power. This is the time it will be abused and used to imprison people who do not deserve it. Do we want every college kid going to jail because he texts his friend he's got a fresh Oz of weed? It is every single persons moral duty to commit civil disobedience in the face of unjust laws. We will not have civil disobedience without freedom against unreasonable searches.
