What happened to "innocent until proven guilty?" While the police could have compromised the relay, we can't assume they did just because they're the police.

The directory authorities already have blacklist capabilities, and add known malicious relays to it as the need arises [1]. Sniffing traffic on an exit is a good enough reason to blacklist a node, as far as I can tell. So if we did know of government running or monitoring exits for this purpose, it would be sufficient reason to blacklist. This particular case is perhaps not so clear cut but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the idea of blacklisting.1) The blacklist used to be published here https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/badRelays but it's apparently no longer published.
