You fell for a simple fallecy. The line isn't that cash is used in a major crime. It's that someone in power wants someone in prison. 1. You might not be involved in a major crime but you might be a suspect. Lots of innocent suspects get convicted. 2. You might be a whistleblower. Lots of whistleblowers get framed. Etc. "If I've done nothing wrong I have nothing to hide" didn't work out well for Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany. A lot of the reason many of us want privacy preserved is to prevent a similar path here. Totalitarian governments don't always pop up overnight on a revolution; they often creep up on you. The creeping process is also often: 1. We'll track X with major checks on privacy; it will only be used for terrorism and child abuse investigations and held in a secure vault 2. We're just doing a better job of sharing / using data we already collect Neither off those is objectionable, but together, you end up in a distopia.
