Those laws are implemented by humans who don't always follow them, or only follow them for certain groups of people.

With the current legal uncertainty around whether your fingerprint or retina scan locking your device has the same legal protection as a passcode - do you _really_ think every Three Letter Agency isn't operating under flimsy legal advice that "papers" does not include anything stored digitally? "The rule of law" is _very_ open to interpretation... (And it's not like parallel construction isn't a well known tool used to hide questionably legal (or outright illegal) law enforcement activity from whatever limited oversight they have anyway... A "Superior system of governance"? My opinion differs somewhat there...)

"willing to force Google to give up data"
first they issued a gag order, and then they came for the gold
"use operational vulnerabilities" am I the only one who strongly believes that Micro$oft is in bed with every 3-leter-agency in haning out backdoors/vulns for the last 20 years?
In the US we have a constitution the prohibits searches of our papers without a warrant signed by a judge. It might be out of fashion is some circles, but the rule of law and not just rule of power is quite popular and I would say a superior system of governance. Many Chinese who are acquiring assets outside of China feel the same way.
