Then tell me exactly what it is the cops can see after you have closed TOR.............If you just surf the web with TOR and dont save anything to your comp there is not a lot to pin you on.Im wondering the same question. What is stored on my hard drive off Tor.A detailed analysis of your hard drive can recover deleted cookies, which track your browsing activity. (Admittedly the Tor browser goes to some lengths to delete these).Also your book marks, and book mark back ups - would you want LEO to see you had a bookmark to your favourite vendor on SR on your PC, particularly if you're trying to plead in court you have ABSOLUTELY no idea that the package sent to your house contained drugs when you signed for it?Your cache is once again erased in theory when you exit the Tor Browser correctly but can be recovered using freely downloadable tools from the internet if you fail to use encryption. It contains information about the URL's you've accessed and how many times you've done this.This is such an open and shut issue, it surprises me that people (including more senior members who should know better!) think it's a matter of opinion - encrypting your entire OS, be it on a USB stick or your hard drive is a matter of common sense.The only time I wouldn't recommend it is if you use a SSD as it can reduce the life of the drive.V.
