I don't deny that. But being a win for freedom and being a win for crime are not mutually exclusive.

But I believe that "being a win for freedom and being a win for crime" necessarily overlap. Maybe entirely. Because anything that allows some authorities to curtail crime necessarily allows other authorities to curtail freedom.
