I find it surprising that you are able to do that, is the provider not mad at
you for having one of their servers seized? Or even if yours, for causing a
commotion and ruckus in their datacenter.

It is certainly not okay to run a node keeping the same private key that the
police now has. You should start from scratch, and I think the procedure is
actually such that the Tor project will blacklist the affected fingerprint.
