That's the most terrifying line in his speech tbh. The privacy of someone who has not been found guilty of a crime should only be overridden by a judge, considering all the factors.
Also, https://xkcd.com/538/ comes to mind :)

"The privacy of a terrorist can never be more important than public safety. Never."

Is it a question of privacy or cost? The means exist to decrypt, its just more expensive.

Also includes the usual BS about breaking encryption in the name of
national security, aka the war on maths.

"However encrypted messaging applications are also used by criminals and
terrorists - at the moment much of this traffic is difficult for our
security agencies to decrypt, and indeed for our Five Eyes partners as
well.

Most of the major platforms of this kind are based in the United States
where a strong libertarian tradition resists Government access to private
communications as the FBI found when Apple would not help unlock the
iPhone of the dead San Bernardino terrorist.

The privacy of a terrorist can never be more important than public safety.
Never."
