You are imagining sophisticated criminals from movies. Yes, genuinely sophisticated criminal rings with ample resources do exist, but they are in the tiny minority. I think you would be amazed at how low-tech, careless, and quite frankly, stupid most criminals are. This is the common denominator they are aiming at, as it offers the broadest and most dense prosecution yield.

Then I'm sure there are other ways of catching them that don't threaten our privacy and freedom.
