they will know you have such program on your computer
it is capable of deniable encryption
most people use it for this exact reason
the file size of the container will not match the size of the contents of your 'safe' volume

I think a reasonable person/court/judge/police/etc. would conclude that you are most likely still hiding something given all that.

I guess having a thick provisioned VM image on your laptop means that you are hiding something. Again if the evil government you are trying to hide something from doesn't need reasonableness as a reason to detain you, then who cares? No matter what you do you are rolling the dice every time you interact with them.

Which is of course similar to the US today, so if I needed to hide something from them I'd make sure that once i'm legally compelled to give my password they at the very least wouldn't have what they are looking for, since there is no way I could prove I didn't have it anyway.
