There is no way for police to know if the traffic came through tor, or was initiated by the owner of computer/server. It seems reasonable that the police have the right to investigate. If not, anyone could run a tor node to cover up their own criminal activities. Even if you did have logs suggesting it was tor activity, should we trust someone’s claim that the logs are proof that it was someone else?

It would in fact be negligent if the police did not properly investigate the server/computer/house of the device.
