Your view will change once you see your home IP address on the search warrant. And no, i am not going to invite the public to share in my vpn too.

  (A) That's not how search warrants work. (B) Having your computers spuriously seized for a police investigation is a risk shared by every computer user, but those investigations cost money. They don't tend to seize your hardware frivolously, except to intimidate (fairly common for security researchers, for some reason). If you have a public Wi-Fi network, and there's no reason to believe you're a culprit, they're more likely to ask you to keep MAC address logs, or shut down the public Wi-Fi network, than assume you dunnit and try to prosecute with insufficient evidence. You're at far more risk running a Tor exit node than a public Wi-Fi network, and most Tor exit nodes don't get raided by the police. Your neighbours are probably not cybercriminals. It's probably okay to be nice to them.

    >> having your computers spuriously seized for a police investigation is a risk shared by every computer user Not where i live. We have layers of rules specifically designed to prevent random actions by police.

      It's not the street-level police who sign the warrants for seizing computer hardware. Yes, the risk is quite low, but it's a risk shared by any occupant of an INTERPOL member state.
