OK but how exactly do you propose to make that work? With current encryption technology there is no way to give up a bit of privacy: it's all or nothing. Either you have the keys or you don't. If a government has the key then it will inevitably be leaked or misused. The UK government in particular has long been heavily penetrated by Soviet / Russian intelligence.
They can physically search a device (like silk road) put malware on a device, use encrypted metadata on who's calling who and so on.
If you really want to catch serious criminals like mafia you have to do something they are not really expecting.
