I understand that child predators are thrown around a lot as an example of why backdoors are needed - but, in reality, it's the worst example.
The crimes that warrant a violation of public privacy would need to be those that create _systemic_ risk. Like on the order of the 9-11 attacks that were so disruptive to the entire country that they merit a (temporary) privacy sacrifice.
Child predators are used for their emotional bait, because everyone agrees they are hated, but for all the horror they inflict, they do not cause a systemic problem.
