I don't know if this's possible but I'd rather have beautiful codes policing the Bitcoin Network than Government run by lawless people. This I guess is the only way Bitcoin can be made safe without deviating from its original purpose or corrupting it with rogue codes. Humans lack self control, too weak and corrupt to be entrusted with something as big as Bitcoin.
So instead of government sneaking in codes to track users let trusted Bitcoiners develop good codes that can further enhance Bitcoin Transparency by making it possible for the nature of every business transacting on Bitcoin is known making it impossible for Bitcoin to work on opaque businesses

Business owners could remain 100% anonymous if they choose to but all businesses trading on Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency with high volume of trade must be identified as businesses by internet users or computer algorithm or both before being allowed to use bitcoin.
To avoid abuses, both legal and illegal businesses should be accepted by the Bitcoin codes. The business of penalizing illegal business should be left for law enforcement agencies.

Sorry OP,but in your thread you use many words and say absolutely nothing.
At the begining of your post ,you are talking about "police" which controls the bitcoin network and at the end you are talking about illegal businesses being accepted by the network and their penalization should be left to the real police.
Is this confusing or no?
We can`t rely on robots,because they are created by humans as well.

I don't think any Government can just sneak in codes as they please. there would have to be consensus by either miners and/or node users and before that even happens Core/other devs/anyone else would get the chance to inspect the code to determine if it is malicious or not before even considering it. It is in this best interests of all parties of Bitcoin to stay anonymous right now, and forever, so any attempted government interference would be shut down pretty quickly imo.

You fall in the exact same problem you want to avoid when you have humans coding something to police a thing that doesn't require police. Bitcoin "policing" is done by doing what we usually do, using clients that understand each other and enforce network rules, thus Bitcoin doesn't require policing. If people designed bots to somewhat police the network people would start questioning that very old phrase... Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
