@shawnhooper People believe they are the hero of their own story. So they believe they can solve problems, if only they had access to the data. However, this kind of power is easy to abuse. Instead people need to consider “what if my enemy had this power over me?” Would they still believe it’s a good idea? i think not. This applies equally well to software as well as the law. The best thing we could do to protect everyone is build strong encryption into everything

Why no make everyone hand in a copy of the house keys to the Police, so they can search every house at any time they like for things like drugs and guns. I bet that would be even more effective than getting access to chats.
And since they keys would be held by the good guys, there are not any risks involved, they might even be required to be quiet if they are searching your house when you are asleep.
