This is basically what happens when law enforcement uses a search warrant to get access to user data from a tech company.

While this process does have weaknesses, it is still the difference between a legal process overseen by the courts and one based on espionage where agents do whatever they want without oversight.

Note that strong network encryption is essential for ensuring that they have to get a warrant.

I don't think anyone has come up with a better system than judicial oversight that still allows law enforcement to do their job?
