I do NOT think they should create software to give to anyone to allow decrypting it, that would be stupid and wrong. way too many bad things can happen there.

Here's my question. Why is a scheme
never attempted where law enforcement is permitted to do these things,
but it will cost them automatically even in the best case? Why must Legality always mean complete immunity?
For example, any investigator that wants access to oh, my tablet will generally get it. BUT he loses a year's pay, even if he's right. If he's wrong, he loses
two years. If he's wrong and some collateral damage occurs, he loses even more. If he tries to evade the regulation, that's a criminal action.
Would I, having my rights infringed, not be somewhat comforted by the thought the investigator is losing at least one years' pay for this privilege?
Would not actually having to personally pay for the privilege help restrict it to cases of real necessity?
Would not this penalty be a constant reminder that while the People may accept such measures as necessary, it is never actually right?
Just a thought.
