> The right to privacy ends at the moment that it is used as an excuse to evade the law.

With your logic we’d lose 100% of our privacy.

Privacy of your own home? You could setup a drug lab.

Privacy of your own phone/computer? Can run an illegal operation.

Privacy of your own USD cash? Could be used for illegal transactions.

The better question: what privacy is there that couldn’t theoretically be used to evade the law?

You are cherry picking part of my comment and reducing it to absurdity. Obviously any implementation needs to be more nuanced than a single sentence generalization. I mentioned warrants for a reason!
