Good point. But I don't know anything about the witness protection
program. And even the police and FBI involvement in cracking down on
organized crime is incredibly suspect (see: Whitey Bulger's case and
their various fabrications around his informant status, possibly to
protect their own corruptions and their earlier bust of the Italian mafia).

But now we're getting off topic. I think it's possible to both recognize
that the police are most of the time a political adversary, and also
recognize that it is tactically useful to educate them around Tor.

I personally would love to hear people share their stories around
educating civic organizations and civil society groups -- and not just
the police-- about Tor. I educate librarians *because* of the status
they enjoy within their communities. But I don't want to dominate the
conversation, so let's hear from someone else. :)
