This implies a level of trust in law enforcement. As a US citizen, hard pass.

^ exactly.
And since the user has the original key, it'd have to be voluntary surrender. After you turn your key in, you lose access.
The best part is the whole thing could be reviewable and added to a public immutable ledger, encrypted, to make the whole process, transition, and access transparent for courts later. Wouldn't it be great if more investigations happened that way?
And if you don't trust law enforcement, thats your prerogative, no need to use the feature.
