It breaks my heart that the governments with unlimited budgets who have hired the best and brightest will have to put in serious effort to get the bad guys, and potentially find it not worth it to casually spy on the whole world.
I am just beside myself at such an idea that people looking to feed the prison machine cannot as easily find excuses to turn normal citizens into prison feed.
Just super sad guys.
> excuses to turn normal citizens into prison feed
What felonies are those normal citizens being convicted of that's landed them in prison?
I get the basic 'not wanting everyone's comms to be monitored' part. I think there's an important conversation to be had because indeed, that can't be the answer.
But it sounds like you're saying most people who are convicted of felonies based on a jury unanimously being convinced by the electronic evidence against them... those people are unjustly in prison?
The issues with the justice system are well documented. Please do not try to straw man what I am getting at.
Certain people are arrested and detained far often than others, because of who they are and not what they did.
Many positions in the justice system prioritize conviction rate above all else.
There are many problematic relationships between legislators, law enforcement and the for-profit prison systems.
Our position in this list should make anyone afraid:

If LE decides you should be "taken off the streets", regardless of if you did the crime you are accused of, you are likely going to prison for something unless you are wealthy. If you are wealthy, they may not bother. All very interesting.
The one who threw a ham sandwich at a Nazi at a protest?
You mean the guy who assaulted a federal officer and got off scot-free? Woe is him.

Why would the "best and brightest" work for governments that pay a fraction of market price?
They work for private companies with massive government contracts
