punished. That is all.

The bank can cooperate if they think there really is a case to be made against somebody.

But the government has to have a reason they think that someone in particular is committing a crime.

Limiting the government's powers may mean tolerating some crime going unpunished. We just think it is the necessary price of freedom. If the government had the power to prevent all crimes, then the government would have the power to define crimes at the whim of those holding office, without reference to the law. That would mean we had zero protection from crime.

Until people get that they will continue to fall for this particular piece of Bushit.
