It's similar to privacy and surveillance.
To secretly monitor a single individual's communications, law enforcement should have to get probable cause, present their case to a judge and obtain a court order.
Dragnet surveillance of all communications all the time is a Very Bad Thing.
Financial surveillance and seizure is currently at the Very Bad Thing stage and bitcoin helps move us back toward a better balance between the rights of the individual and the interests of the state.
