Police tracking American's bank accounts - Illegal, no?
Trying to get through this movie on Netflix, but got stopped when the police saw some transactions in the Americans' bank accounts, which the investigator then showed up to their house and implicated Franco of discovering money.
I assume the UK isn't that totally backwards compared to the USA. How would that NOT be illegal for police to track financial information like that, without any warrant, or them being suspects of any wrong doing, nonetheless???
Also, as soon as they got into some serious sh*t between drug lords and corrupt UK police, why did they not just go to the U.S. Embassy for help? They were there on a visa (Hudson's character said something earlier about "going back home", making it seem like they hadn't become full citizens), so they were still technically Americans who could've gotten help at the U.S. Embassy.
