Might be a point of interest but not a very strong one. We all used Tor in high school to play flash games on the school network. It's not like they bust down your door because you connected to Tor.
Yes, my intention was to say that it'll get their attention, but as a single data point won't justify a raid.
The detective said it to me as part of the conversation in which I was told I could collect my seized equipment, and it was said in a way that implied they thought I was still "guilty" despite the fact they found nothing incriminating in the multiple terabytes of data they seized.
The other (laughable) 'red flag data points' the detective mentioned were:
- The usage of virtual machines
- Having downloaded items from MEGA
Incredibly low bars for suspicion if you ask me, but then I know a bare minimum about technology...
