They have a mandate to record conversations, so they modify the app to record conversations. I don't see the problem?

This is much less illegal than the other explanation - that they were using Signal to avoid having conversations recorded.

If you have a problem, you should have a problem with the mandate to record all conversations, not with installing a modified app to do it. If the person wasn't told this was happening, you should have a problem with that too, although who would accept a phone from the government and then not think it's tapped?
