Do you mean that law enforcement can get away with breaking the law, or do you mean that the law permits law enforcement to break the law? Either way, your comment seems overbroad and comes across as uselessly snarky.

The law permits law enforcement to break laws (e.g., buying or selling drugs) if it serves a legitimate law enforcement purpose. Breaking copyright law would almost certainly be covered.
