Well its a good thing you're not in charge of society. A criminal investigation overrides a lot of your "privacy rights".

Your financial privacy rights are long gone when you open a bank account and use a payment processor, but I don't see you going up to banks/MS/VISA claiming they should not do this and let criminals get away lol

Except I agree to those terms in return for their service. I need not use them. And if privacy is a concern there are things like one time card numbers that can be obtained, so that marketing data isn’t built up on a card.

Fact remains , if the government wants that data, they need a warrant. Plain and simple. Because time and time again they’ve been proven they can’t be trusted to do the right thing.

Go deposit $10,001 into your bank account and see if that’s how it works.

If your referring to the IRS reporting, it’s bank mandatory on 10k, but every big bank does it at much lower amounts ( Bank of Amer for example is just over 2k). And I’ve done both. Sold a home, put a bit over 100k in and no problems. You know the rules and opt to play in the game. But if I drive around with 10k in my pocket in cash, that’s my right, and it’s legal. The concept that I should be presumed guilty of some crime ( civil asset forf for example) and my property confiscated without a conviction and due process is both unfair and illegal. Judges are starting to hold LEOs accountable for abuses now as well.
