Is it possible to encrypt my data on Windows so the police never gets access to it?

>Encrypt my data
That's such a stupid thing to want. If someone ever steals your hard drive, you're not getting it back, so why bother encrypting it. What you should concern yourself with is quickly destroying it.

If you run your OS and storage from, lets say, a microSD card, you can eject that card and shove it up your ass faster than any bleepbloop re-encrypt! command.

Enjoy my wisdom.

So the person who stole it can't access your shit. What kind of dumb question is that?

>Unencrypted storage on your person
You're literally handing it to the feds.

You're literally handing it to the feds/other criminals
Modern encryption/decryption is done on the fly, hold down the power button and the keys are gone and your shit is encrypted (colt boot attacks are schizo bait)
