For example, I downloaded Tor network and using it for illegal activities. Can my govt track me? Can US govt track me? I know it encrypts something but if I remember correct, FBI was able to find some Tor users before.

Note: illegal activities was for example. I'm not going to do anything illegal. I'm just planning to serve my instance with a onion address.

Sue the person your interested in for something, maybe defamation, get a deposition done, and as part of the questioning have the lawyer ask if they work in law enforcement.

Under oath, they have to tell you if they are a cop. heh
