Cops will think that the first man is either criminal or hiding something and they will go after him, no one thinks that the first man protects about his privacy.
Um. Unless you live in North Korea or some other dictatorship, both of those people won't be stopped by a cop just because of their looks. Everyone is guilty until proven otherwise, you can't claim the "hoodie" guy is more guilty because of their look.
Oh, it has nothing common with North Korea and here I don't emphasize hoodie but the way this man tries to cover his face and hide from others, hoodie looks to be a part of it. If you think that you won't attract cops attention by
this look, I think you should just try
They won't arrest you, that's for sure but you know, you attract their attention more because of your unusual behavior and outfit. And why is it so hard for you guys to understand my point? Or maybe you understand but I don't get why do you disagree with it, maybe my examples are bad. Okay, I would say, if you want to hide that you are a millionaire, just don't buy Ferrari and buy a Toyota, just don't buy a luxury apartment and buy an average house or apartment.
I think that my logic in this case is very near to reality. If you use TOR and your ISP sees that, then a legitimate question arises: This man either does something illegal or wants to protect its privacy. But why does he want to protect his privacy? Probably he does something bad.
What do you think, what would ISP and cops think when you use TOR? Oh, he is a good man, he just wants freedom and to protect his privacy, that's all. Do you really think that cops or ISP think like that? If you hide your TOR usage from your ISP and connect TOR that way, then you protect your privacy and at the same time, no one has doubt about you because you look like an average guy from the outside.
That's why is that guy using TOR is a valid question and if you want to protect your privacy, you have to pretend like you don't try to protect your privacy. Easy solution, hide your TOR activity.
You cannot pretend like privacy doesn't matter to you, unless it really doesn't matter. You cannot protect your privacy by evading privacy protecting tools. That's just sad if it works that way in your country. If the government merely catches me using Tor, it is beyond insane to me to blame me guilty. It is however not insane at all if it blames me for browsing illegal sites (which is possible to notice if you don't route your traffic through Tor).
No, privacy matters for me but you have to think outside the box. When you take care of your privacy online, you have to realize that you are different from the rest of individuals. When you realize that, you will also realize that people don't care about their privacy online and the fact that people share sensitive information in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so on, proves again that people don't care about their privacy. When you discover that majority of people don't care about privacy online but you care, you'll also discover that you probably look a little different from crowd for those, who watch everyone. In order to protect your privacy, you have to act like you don't care, like, using Tor bridges to hide your tor activity or VPN + Tor. If you want another level of privacy, then this advice doesn't apply to you.
Cops will think that the first man is either criminal or hiding something and they will go after him, no one thinks that the first man protects about his privacy.

Tell that to the black people in United States (supposedly "not a dictatorship") that are regularly harassed and murdered for no reason by the brutal US police just because of their "looks"
I should add that I don't deny the need for protecting your privacy specially on the internet where the biggest privacy invading organization is the United States Military (ie. NSA) which is actively invading your every move. But you can't deny that in the eyes of a privacy invading regime, anybody who makes their invasion harder is doing something wrong! They may even go as far as calling it "breaking the law"...
I think both, white and black people are equally, brutally harassed and murdered by the US police. Do you see more black people arrested? Probably more black people commit crimes, I don't know, I don't think it's totally because of racism. From my personal experience, I have noticed that more black people sell drugs and steal bicycles or kidnap, shoplift. I am not a racist, I swear to god but I can also swear that probably 90% of black men sell drugs near my bahnhof, usually immigrants I bet. Local people (race doesn't matter), grown in local neighborhood, tend to be more polite and well mannered.
