Not verifying the legitimacy of the merchant making the transaction. Banking and payments are very tightly regulated and there are AML-KYC laws (anti-money-laundering/know-your-customer) that need to be complied with.

It's a sad state of affairs when things not verified to be legal are presumed illegal.

The conversation was about reducing privacy to assist law enforcement. Your question relates to whether a lawful society is preferable to a lawless one, and as far as I can tell has no bearing on privacy. I'd be happy to answer your hypothetical question, but I don't want to stray further off topic, so I'll decline.
