It's gotta be so frustrating. Here's this little thing that could answer all your questions, maybe. If you could just open it, you could easily solve many mysteries. And the only people who can help won't.
I don't envy the job of law enforcement. It must feel like at times that everyone is standing in your way. But where does it stop?
If only we could track everyone all the time...
If only we could watch everyone in their homes all the time...
If only we could open everyone's safes whenever we needed to...
Yes, you could solve many mysteries with all of the keys. But it's not your information. You're not owed it. No one is owed the answer to any question.
I hope law enforcement understands someday what a destructive request they've made, but I'm guessing like anything else addictive, that one taste will just lead to more.
Many of us often complain that our jobs would be much easier if only. This is a reminder to step back and realize that, sometimes, your job isn't supposed to be easy. Your goals are not necessarily your entire organization's goals, nor the entire nation or world's goals.
A programmer complaining about bureaucracy usually does not have the same moral high ground. Thats probably the difference. Nobody in society complains when the newest feature of your Webapp is delayed but when when its about crime and terror, its different. Thats where they are coming from.
It totally disagree but thats how many people see it (I would guess).
