The enforcement agencies all want easy ways to perform their enforcement duties.

Enforcing it the hard way by catching people in the act, or even spot checking, is difficult, and takes work and budget.

However, in asking such enforcement work to be made easy, the cost is borne by the rest of the innocents in losing their privacy or rights. Individually, each single instance of such loss is minuscule, but collectively it's a huge loss of rights and privacy - not to mention precedence.
