Stop And Frisk.

Nobody without something to hide should want privacy/encryption.

Forcing 8 Billion people to KYC/AML before buying a coffee or helping a relative isn't too much to ask.

Amirite? /s

Funniest AML thing I ever did. Went to open a new account in the app, it's like sorry you haven't verified your identity can't do it through the app. Okay. Walk into a branch, ask to make a new account. They're like nah, you need to come back with proof of where you live before we can verify your identity. I'm literally standing in front of you. With ID. I already have 3 accounts, what's a 4th?

They would need a recent proof of address to know where you live.

I know, it is stupid and there are so many ways to fake this, but a bank cant possibly gibe a loan to someone without knowing where they live.

Else kim jong il could just walk in with his id etcetc.
