Windows Realistically, can police retrieve data from RAM?

Kiddy porn, terrorism or fraud. Possibly IP theft, if it's from an American company. Given that this is the internet I suspect kiddy porn.

It is interesting to see the lunacy that masquerades as educated paranoia in these threads.

 

I have duress passwords...every morning I am placed under duress to remember my log in, especially after a few shandies at weekend

 

I count on that, actually

Ummm.
Having part of an external drive as an truecrypt encrypted partition, how do I keep windows from detecting the "unformatted partition" and wanting to format it?

 

It's worrying that you'd consider showing your hot, steamy DIY porn superstar sessions with your significant other to your mother.

 

Fantastic

 

I never read your post until I saw it quoted today, but had to reply.

How do you know how many of us have ever done anything that warranted being monitored? I for one was not always a stay-at-home (disabled) computer geek. I used to be involved in some quite large protests (I won't go into details), and even if you stay within the law when carrying out activities that some government department doesn't like you can get monitored.

In the days before everyone had at least one mobile phone, I had mine blocked when it was used as the main contact for setting up a free festival. We had already got a few thousand people congregated for a large protest in Wiltshire (virtually closing off a large town!) ready for the big festival.

So I guess I was important enough in the 90's to be monitored by a government agency.

 

surely just encrypting a virtual machine would be enough?
