In the US legal system, that refers to whether you can be punished for a crime, not investigated for one.

An investigation that would require a warrant. My point being that all activities should not be considered criminal by default thereby available for perusal without a legally provided reason. And only then if very narrow in scope.

The OP didn't say he wanted all financial activities to be considered criminal - just available for investigation.

I get that's not what you want, but it is what OP wants and I can see why.

All part of the eternal struggle between individual freedom and societal good.
