Financial crime is something that is heavily enforced on an (inter)national scale.

Local transportation violations aren't enforced in quite the same way.

Yeah, but it's generally enforced by freezing your funds until you show up in court. If you've come up with an alternative, maybe just leave out the government-facing API that lets them freeze funds.
