Crime is a people problem which needs a people solution — officers on the beat, detectives securing convictions, courts bringing justice.

The fight against E2E is a political red herring to win votes. Politicians abrogate their responsibility to uphold law and order by playing with emotions instead. The current news cycle is absolutely symptomatic of that.

It’s a positive message: funding real police work instead can actually solve important crimes, if you recruit and train them. Let’s focus on that instead of a digital dragnet. I’d rather have real detectives on the streets cracking people trafficking gangs, than a database cluster.
