> I'd rather criminals got away with their nefarious deeds than give up privacy

Are you sure you mean this statement in absolute sense, as in "I'd rather criminals got away with any nefarious deeds than give up any privacy"?

Or, may be, you have some sense of balance between these two things? If you have, what kind of balance it might be?

Financial criminals, you mean like the banks. Yes I would like something done about the laundering activity for criminal organizations by banks. How much money do you think your average criminal would move via cash? How much money do you think banks have moved to facilitate economic crimes. In total?

This is about power. Not about crime.

Which banks? And what is an economic criminal?

I do not want to give up any privacy. The stasi wasn't that long ago.
