It’s impossible to predict ahead of time when you are going to be a witness to some kind of police mischief. Or maybe you get a chance to record a meeting while bussing tables. Or… maybe your tabletop role playing game cuts a little too close to the bone for the FBI. If the software is already loaded and running on your camera to begin with, then no matter what the stakes become, you’re protected. The more encrypted data is sent through the system, the safer it is to send more.
Sure, they can still destroy or vanish an encrypted SD card, but it’s a hell of a lot safer for the owner of that card, if they can’t read it first. “That’s private images of myself and my lover” is a reasonable catch-all alibi for any time you don’t want the snoops spying. The more people who are willing to use it, the more effective it gets.
