> For all intents and purposes, encryption is a unbreakable lock that can serve to perfectly hide valuable criminal evidence. Such a thing wasn't possible when our laws were written and has never before been possible in the physical world. Its existence has potential to be a huge shift in how we enforce the law.

This is untrue. The equivalent thing that anybody has been able to do for a thousand years is keep their written down secrets in an undisclosed location. If the police don't know where you keep them and you don't tell them, they have never been able to read them. Finding an anonymous storage unit among millions is no easier than guessing the user's password.

But you could put them under covert surveillance ahead of time to find the location, you say? You can do the same thing to get their password then.
