There's still the possibility that a server op is using their Tor node
as a scapegoat and really is doing bad things (I don't mean to imply
that's the case here). Even if the police know that their suspect is
running a Tor node, what Tor is, and what it's used for, they're still
going to investigate him. All we can hope for is that they'd be a bit
nicer about it.
