In the US, bank deposits of $10,000+ must be reported to the authorities, but regular deposits of less than $10,000 are considered deliberate evasion of monitoring, and are also reported to the authorities, resulting in confiscation and court cases. It's allegedly to protect us from drug dealers and organized crime, but the reality is harm to innocents. People can also be robbed if a cop decides the sum of cash they are carrying is suspiciously large. The court then requires the person whose property was taken to prove his innocence in a complete subversion of justice, and police departments love such civil asses forfeitures as an extra revenue stream, guaranteeing corruption running rampant.

Yes. You're either reported to the authorities or you're reported to the authorities. We are also starting to see the statement "Onus of Proof" emerge in policy which is basically a "Guilty until proven innocent" change that is also a pretty significant tool for oppression.
