but you know

- they still have to be physically there

- one team can do only one raid at a time

- people know if they did a raid

- they needs a judge order and because the previous point you can counter sue if reasonable, at least theoretically

- they can't impersonate you all around the globe including in countries outside of the UK just by raiding you

- a raid is time wise also limited

- police being able to raid doesn't prevent you from guarding yourself against random criminals or agents of foreign hostile governments raiding you

- you know when you are raided

- you are still allowed to put steal doors in your home

- I probably missed a bunch of points

I.e. it's not the same, not at all.

A more correct comparison would to state police can raid you, so they should be able to hack your device but only to retrieve information and being required to leaf a message behind (and even that comparison has issues).
