I don't think that would help. Most rights are not absolute and can be restricted by other laws. For instance:

* Freedom of movement is clearly restricted for people on a jail sentence.

* We have secrecy of communication but also lawful interception.

perhaps even "lawful" interception shouldn't be lawful after all?

Sure but it could still help.

We also have unlawful state interception as evidenced by leaks from Snowden and multiple others. I think states currently should not get any concessions from secure communication platforms.
