Almost nobody is entirely innocent under the law when sufficient scrutiny is applied, so giving LEO access to your computer invites a fishing expedition. IMO.

Yep. I had that happen. Someone tipped the police that me and some friends were hacking computers and stealing credit cards. We were raided, gave access to the police to our computers, they found nothing related to cc fraud (of course) but then prosecuted us for some pirated games they found.

No almost about it.
