I think what was meant is that corrupt solicitors can circumvent the AML system, so it would indeed be good to spot the rare bent solicitor helping drug dealers, corrupt politicians and terrorists launder criminal funds into real estate as you say. The main game is for the rest of us to keep a weather eye out for the criminals misusing our businesses and reputation to park the proceeds of serious crime in our neighbourhoods. If we saw a petty criminal trying the door handles on our neighbours cars and houses, we'd call the cops. When some of the worlds worst criminals try to jemmy open the doors of our real estate and solicitors' businesses to see if we'll help criminals profit even more from the misery they've already caused, it's not too much trouble to drop a line to the coppers. Filing a SAR also helps protect your business if later it's found the deal you weren't sure about really was dodgy.

AML checks are good for business. The "local families & little old ladies" pass easily; you know they're legitimate vendors/purchasers, and they are comforted dealing with a reputable agency protecting our community from some of the world's biggest criminals. There are lots of known red flag indicators for when drug dealers, corrupt politicians stealing from their countries and other serious criminals want to launder criminal money into property; the knock on the door might come years after the commission was earned, but an investigation in which your firm becomes known as having turned a blind eye to serious criminals, maybe even terrorists, is hardly going to be good for business from the real local families.
