Many people, especially those outside the tech community, do not view law enforcement as an adversary. In the US, the balance that we have struck is that the government cannot search our property, except upon probable cause (fourth amendment). While I personally don't like it, I think that warrant-based key escrow is reasonable from a policy perspective.

In post-FISA world where a campaign of a presidential candidate was wiretapped under false pretenses, this view of the world is criminally naive.
