You have a point. No one in the court including the jury, lawyers, or judge will understand anything in the notebook. That is why courts use "expert
witnesses." In this case the obvious choice would be a chemistry professor from the nearest college or university.

Vogel's
Just start doing the experiments out of Vogel's, one by one, and in order, taking notes the whole way. Sure, it's an expensive proposition, but by
the time you are done you'll not only be an expert in the methods of organic chemistry, but you'll also have a reason for possessing just about
anything you want - and a reasonable, coherent way to explain it to anyone who should stick their nose into your business.

If you have a notebook, then if it is presented to the jury, if complete, it may convince them that you are very knowledgeable about chemistry and it
is likely that that is all you are doing . . . .

I have kept an extensive journal of my chemistry experiments for the past 5 months, complete with pictures. I also have a public version which does
not contain, uh, sensitive, information and I show people that version and post it on my blog. The private version contains complete information of
all of my chemistry experiments.

I like that idea LanthanumK, I always make detailed notes to the best of my ability in a solid notebook and sometimes, for information or data/results
I *really* would like to have in the future, I always make a photocopy backup.
Loreenah, I don't think the problem is the police/government finding your lab book in the first place . . .infact, as Magpie pointed out, you might
even want to show it to them, and by having to look around in your "secret place" they might just get even more suspicious.

Yeah, the benefit of the lab book is not to prove that you haven't been "doing bad things" but rather to show to the jury that there are things other
than bombs and drugs that chemists can make, and that there are valid reasons to own chemicals. It's not proof, just a way to remove their prejudice
against chemistry.
