Monero currently has all of these properties.

This is does not justify sacrificing everybody's financial privacy and independence. The police should track the criminals via other methods. They shouldn't be able to surveil everybody's transactions at all times or freeze people's accounts over the slightest suspicions until they prove their innocence. It's better to let some criminals escape than suffer these injustices.

Agree to disagree haha. Financial records are private unless revealed to authorities in a 4th-amendment compliant probable-caused based warrant. Seems like the right place to draw the line.
> The police should track the criminals via other methods.
Why? I mean it's pretty easy with basically every crypto other than Monero, and Monero is basically Narco-dollars, which are unlikely to find any acceptance.
> They shouldn't be able to surveil everybody's transactions at all times or freeze people's accounts over the slightest suspicions until they prove their innocence.
You mean... probable cause? And offer due process to resolve? Some would argue that's the foundation of the criminal justice system.

You're just subbing one kind of criminal for another.
