If Im looking for legal advice online. Or how to handle a legal situation. Could that be used against me in court ? (dont worry I would contact a laywer sooner than later). Im in a Western Country but not the US.

Assuming authorities get access to my pc .....which I heavily doubt cause....My case if there is going to be one isnt very serious afaik.

But lets just assume they get access. Would that be a risk ? Like if I googled how to rob a bank for example?

At least in the US for speeding you just pay a fine, they aren't going to search your devices. I can't imagine why any country would do that tbh. Its not usually premeditated, which is why you'd want info from their device.

If you're worried about the feds getting your devices you should look into disk encryption, like veracrypt.

Im not in the USA. Im just Schizophrenic and I worry too much. Directly linked to my paranoia.

No one is going to examine your device because you were speeding. If whatever you may have done is comparable to speeding they aren't going to either. I somehow missed that you said your potential case wasn't very serious, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry you deal with this meow-hug schizophrenia seems really difficult.
