You can still put the taxi driver on the stand. Most cabs are even equipped with cameras now.
This is more comparable to a taxi company which makes driver take a pill to forget all details on arrival. That would be harder to defend, after the first incident of "why was this car in my driveway last night? - we couldn't tell you!"
That is a terrible analogy because the information is inherently captured and you are talking about taking extraordinary measures to destroy evidence. It's also a failed conversational gambit because we end up discussing the bad analogy instead of the underlying issue.
In other news despite VPNs people who commit crimes are prosecuted all the time via ordinary police work per normal. In fact despite sophisticated tech criminals on average leave behind more breadcrumbs than they ever did in prior eras.
