And yet politicians want to outlaw weaken encryption because they figure they're not getting enough data.

Law enforcement used to be able to solve the same crimes that were being committed before the existence of computers, let alone having practically everyone carry one on them at all times and collecting evidence for law enforcement.

I keep saying, they want to solve crimes by typing queries into a computer. To me, the mass surveillance implications are downright scary.

I can't remember what detective show I was watching, but there was always a sign in the background at a police precinct to remind the officers working there to "Go pound the pavement". It's still an option. They just want to make their own lives easier by encroaching into yours.
