Hi folks.

On Tuesday morning police knocked on my door, performing a full house
search.
Some Nazis used TOR to send nazi-emails to several schools in Germany.

Unfortunately their mails left one of my Exit Servers from dark- to
clearweb, so an ip address, registered on my name, was the last stamp.
Now im accused of Volksverhetzung (german, try to find a good translation).
It means spreading bad nazi bullshit to the internet.

I can take this down by showing them German Telemediengesetz §8, which
protects TOR operators in Germany.
Unfortunately they found some dope (yea, 420guy here) during the house
search, which  makes thing even more complicated.

Now I am considering shutting down all my exits.
I promise you guys, there is nothing more bad than a police house search in
the early morning hourse. Even a burglary would be less worse. Burglars
come, steal, go and you never hear again from them.
Police comes, searches through all your belongings, destroys your privacy,
is allowed to take ALL what they want - and they will send you bad bad
letters afterwards.

What are your thoughts about this?


Best regards,
volker
