The friendly local police man who usually deals with the occasional abuse cases has a generic description of Tor that includes the IP addresses of my exit nodes and can forward that information to whomever is interested without having to contact me every time. This arrangement worked rather well so far. For reasons unknown to me the investigation that lead to the raid was handled by a different police department, though, and apparently the police men involved prefer to "investigate" a bit differently. They also didn't seem that fond of Tor in general. Fabian
