And since there are lots of civilian organization more than ready to help the law with their investigative process and assuming that we do not make all information leaking and whistle blowing illegal, it should be possible for the law to do its job.

And that is exactly my point, do you? Reality shows not. Many times
hidden under the privacy protection is bogus or ID theft details.
In fact, upon learning of ID theft in a domain registration, one of
the largest registrars changes the public whois to one where the
registrant name still shows, but their own privacy address. They then
park the domain.
This is a case of a minority, as I stated previously, spoiling it for
others.
So imagine the time this wastes for law enforcement. Or imagine the
costs in a civil case to obtain the details which are useless and
virtually unverified. Imagine the time delays.
I have no issue with privacy in domains, except there is no real
verification mechanism. A mail to a free unverified email address is
no verification. As for credit card details, the recent mentioned
neighbors of wikileaks.info if a great supply for credit card details
complete with social security numbers, addresses, telephone numbers etc.
This leads to unaccountability as opposed to privacy.
