I agree Jim. At the risk of sounding naive, while it is of course important to be critical, advocate for transparency, and take a stand when needed, alienating LEAs who have legitatent challenges and concerns won't do us any good. Of course, that may be slightly off-topic given the initial response by Alexander, and I do understand his criticism.

I also forgot to mention that increased dialogue and collaboration with LEAs is happening across Europe (Europol is one example). Again, though, that may be a different issue in scope than the issue that was initially raised.
