The problem is:

How do you handle cases where data appears to be encrypted but it isn't?

Or, the data is encrypted but the suspect has forgotten the password?

The state has little incentive to care about such issues. Look at the success and continued use of BS forensic science... False positives aren't a problem.

How do you handle cases where someone lies about a crime they've committed?

Solving offenses without 100% certain evidence is by no means a new problem.
