We have similar laws in the US of A.
Trot down to your local bank and deposit $10,000 'cash'. This cash transaction will be reported to our blessed gov't by the bank, as required by law. You will then be under observation.
Purchase a new auto with cash, and the same thing happens.
Pack up your life savings in cash, put it into a briefcase (as seen in the gangster movies) and go to the airport. After your briefcase is inspected, you will be reported.
To try to avoid all of this scrutiny, take all of your savings out of the bank, receiving cash, and the gov't will be legally notified.
No crime committed, but you are suspect, and will be monitored.
It's great to be alive!
