That’s a true fact but why does it make traditional policing impossible?

I don't think it does. We've had encrypted communications for centuries; cases have been cracked before without decoding those messages.

The Catholic Church seems to think so, and they've got a notorious anti-Devil bias. It's useful to put forward arguments against things, even if you don't agree with them, because it helps to put into words why you don't agree with them.
