AFAIK, this is still true in the US. However, I'm pretty sure I've seen at least 3 court cases in the EU on this list (though too busy to dig them up right now). There have also been several equipment seizures in the EU that never escalated to a court case...

A close friend of mine in Italy some years ago has been running a Tor Exit form home and he got waken-up at 6.00am from State Police for seizure of computer equipment.

In italy there is an excessively long court proceedings (5-6 years) due to very inefficient justice system.

It means that even if you are innocent, for each penal issue it happen to you, you have to stay in the justice loop for many years.
