No, that's not (necessarily) it.

It only takes one person in LE to request to investigate this IP, and a single judge that isn't entirely convinced that it will be worthless to try to sign it off.

If parts of the state wanted to harass operators systematically or organize to discourage TOR, they could do much worse.

The one person in LE is assisted by specialists (you know, if they really care to be.)

and the judge and the state attorney involved are controlled by the state's justice department which is run by politicians. yes, in germany the judiciary system is not politically independent ...

Most judges don't really read what they sign if it comes from LE, I am convinced.
