PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering law enforcement's ability to intercept and monitor communications
Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue.

I don't feel that intercepting traffic should ever be considered lawful.

If you need evidence, get a warrant, and take the equipment.

Many people sincerely believe rules are a big thing and such organizations don't violate those regularly. Even in the EU. Even when nobody will know.

That's how they used to do it, get a warrant, and wiretap landlines.

Except even back then the FBI spied on whoever they wanted, like Martin Luther King and the civil rights organizers. Always has been this way
