it's less likely that local law enforcement can spy on my communications.

Most developed nations at this point have some sort of data-sharing treaty. So some other country not subject to local laws spies on you, then just shares that information with your local country, and vise-versa, and voila everyone on the planet has just skirted any and all consumer privacy protections.
