No, it isn't. You can ask google whatever you want, and no "red flags" are being raised, this isn't the Bourne Identity. Police barely have capacity to arrest criminals these days, nobody is checking if you download the anarchist cookook ffs.

If you get arrested for child porn, will police get your google search history and check you haven't googled bad things? Sure.

Unless you piss off the wrong people that is. Selective enforcement is very much a thing.
