Low Barr: Don't give me that crap about security, just put the backdoors in the encryption, roars US Attorney General

The key point is that the individual’s right to privacy and the [police's] right of access are two sides of the same coin

I'm sorry, where is there a police "right of access" written anywhere? There is something about searching and seizing after due process but "access" isn't written anywhere. If police have a warrant and search one of my documents and find they can't read it after nary a glance, there is no obligation on me to translate it for them.
