But if it happenes I cannot see the problem because if you want to make 
sure that no innocent person is ever supervised you have to stop any 
legal prosecution - and that is definitely not what I want to have.

Back to your example: If a judge decides to wiretap me based on this 
evidence it is pure bad luck. This happenes in every country with a 
legal system like Germany or the US have every day. If they then try to 
pull me to court I have to be able to prove that my system is hacked. 
Otherwise I'm fucked - and no, I dont like that.

This is the same with dialers: We have the problem in Germany at the 
moment, that criminals send dialers to idiots that connect their 
computer to 0900-numbers wich costs them sometimes more then 100 
Euro/call. If you can prove that you have been hacked everything is fine 
otherwise you have to pay.

But now we are really getting to much off topic so I invite you to reply 
to me personally.

No, I'm not a fan of "big brother". If a government collects data and 
finds out that the data does not prove me illegal then I expect the 
government to trash these data. In my eyes it is a sign of a working 
democracy if this works ok. If it doesn't, something goes wrong.

Best regards
