What if you want to use Tor, not because you have something to hide, but to make it easier for everyone to be anonymous? edit: punctuation

  can't tell that from the outside... and if you're looking for people who are trying to hide illegal activity you actually care about prosecuting, I'd bet there's a higher overlap with the tor users than non-tor users. Even if there isn't the cops probably think so...

  Then you accept the risk associated with it. For people who need anonymity,I'd say a TLS vpn which isn't publicly listed as such would be ideal imo. My opinion is that anonymity isn't absolute and if you care about your use of anonymozing services to remain unknown as much as you want the resources you access with them to remain a secrect then the protocol should blend in with normal traffic. Consider a place like n korea,if they see someone connectig to a Tor node,that person is screwed even if he only watched cat videos with it. Or maybe even in the US,imagine a court case where your innocent usage of Tor is used to into question the legitimacy of your private activities.
