"good guys" should have been in quotes in my post. Politicians making these laws usually trot them out as means for the police to find child porn, promising that only the police will ever be given the key to decrypt things. Of course this restriction is impossible without magical thinking.
There was a huge political sideshow a few years ago when a terrorist killed some people in in Southern California. The police seized his end-to-end encrypted iPhone and demanded that Apple decrypt it for them. Of course this is impossible, but it didn't stop pandering politicians (including police chiefs, prosecutors, etc.) from demanding it.
Police hired some Israeli company who decrypted it, and there was nothing there - at least that's what they released publicly.
Best thing was that the LA Times supposed technology reporter, who also had a daily segment on one of the local news stations, wrote an editorial demanding that Apple just decrypt it already, showing that he actually knew nothing about end-to-end encryption technology. His column and TV appearances stopped shortly thereafter. Good riddance.
