To me the problem is that you wouldn't be able to buy a car anonymously anymore, while it leaves the really rich pretty much untouched.
Art is a well known angle for money laundering or giving someone a huge sum of money pretty much without any regulation. Contracts for construction or even consulting are another way.
I don't have access to this kind of playground - chances are, you neither. But the people supposedly targeted by this kind of law (corrupt politicians, organised crime, ...), do have access to these things and are therefore not impacted.
You have to register a car anyway. Where exactly is the problem?
nothing to hide nothing to fear, huh?
And i thought at least after Snowden we learnt this is bs...
So you want people to be able to drive several tons of literal murder machines without any form of registration?
don't try to misunderstand ppl on purpose
Then what else could you possibly mean?
What a sophilistic reply. No, car insurance is a thing. The purchase will no longer be anonymous, after you purchase car insurance for the car you just bought.
"You know, for all those totally, 100% legitimate and completely anonymous car purchases people make, that definitely won't be used by organised crime: honest."
