> functionaries of State power can't abuse their position

But they can and sometimes do

Weapons don't stop that.

Encryption could be part of a check against that

Could encryption also enable these "functionaries" to further hide their abuses of powers? That token has at least two sides.

They'll allow themselves to use encryption in any case I think. Just like prioritizing protecting themselves (but not protecting everyone's PII).

(I think Daniels law is good and that it should be for everyone)
