As an American, we can start with: The People's 4th Amendment rights trump the Government's.
I'm always bothered by the sense of entitlement inherent in governmental campaigns against encryption. A properly-executed warrant allows the government to search for evidence and seize it. It does not create an obligation for the target to tell the government where the evidence is and how to make use of it.
Also inherent in our justice system is the concept that not all criminals get to be caught and convicted. Presumption of Innocence, Blackstone's Ratio, 5th Amendment, etc.
I don't think any of us want to live in a society where every law-breaker can be caught. We all break laws. I've barely left my home for 10 minutes today and am not entirely certain I haven't broken any.
