"We need construction companies to build homes in a way that allows access to every room at any time for law enforcement" Sounds a bit strange doesn't it?
-
"Despite our prolific history of abusing systems like this, we pinky-swear we won't abuse this one."
-
I know what you're getting at, but generally homes are actually built that way.
Law enforcement can always go through any doors or windows if they have a warrant. You'd have to build a bunker to be save from them.
-
But this isn't talking about windows or doors, this is more like, "the police needs a special key to enter everyone's house"

What a complete load of horse shit. Show me crime statistics that clearly show that mass scanning of messages was the only way to detect a felony or reach a verdict of guilty.

Won't somebody think of the children!? They deserve to grow up in a surveillance state!

What I don’t get is what’s the end game? Because this will likely affect only already law abiding citizens or those with limited technical knowledge as bad agents will simply generate certificates and encrypt however they see fit. It’s not like building an encrypted client is hard…

E2E encryption is the public protection measure.

I'm not going to lie I thought this was a rare moment of police org stating that. It clearly is. It would be like them saying locked houses impead investigation and that they only want locks for car, houses, whatever to support a master key the police own.
It shows a clear lack of understanding of just how insecure that makes something and just how much trust in state would be needed for it to be even conscionable.

Ok, unencrypt all of your data, including communications then.

Is hating basic rights a requirement for that job or does it just attract those kinds of people?
It's the Police, they are trained to handle bad people, so they see bad people everywhere and treat everyone (depending in Level of racism) as a potential bad person.
Wich in turn makes them into bad people.
When you’re a hammer, all you see is nails
It's a fundamental part of the system. When you as a human give power over your life to somebody else or accept that other people have power over you, then that power will inevitably attract the worst of society who will attempt to use that power that you have granted them. The only way out of this is to completely reject the premise of large government. No one person should be beholden to a large central entity. At least here in the United States, I think the state government should be about as big as government gets and completely abolish the federal government because it is just abusive and too far away from the people.
