This exact law exists in Australia, the "Assistance & Access Act". That these laws exist in Australia is also a reason why there is a lot of co-operation between US and Australian law enforcement. I am not sure how but it gives the US an ability to do things they can't do on their own shore. The US often works on other countries, like Bucharest in the An0m case to work around their own laws. |

At least there’s this:
> The Assistance and Access Act contains an express prohibition against building or implementing any weakness or vulnerability in software or physical devices that would jeopardise the security of innocent users. This is found in section 317ZG of the Act which also makes clear that any assistance that makes a system's encryption or authentication less effective for general users is strictly prohibited. This same section prohibits the construction of new decryption capabilities and rules out any requirements that would prevent a company from patching existing security flaws in their systems.
