It's probably more a matter of, "let everyone engage in illegal activities, which we can then use to turn the screws on them if they ever need to."
This is a ubiquitous tactic at the highest level of law enforcement.
That is what the UK has been doing and is doing, along with most if not all Governments. One just has to take a look at UK's 2003 Communication Act. It can be selectively enforced against you if they do not like you.
