The real issue here is *not* the legality of the act of providing a Tor exit node, or an open access point, or anything else. In sensible countries that is perfectly legal. The problem here is the reality of undergoing a criminal investigation. 

Think carefully about the impact of having everything in your life which runs an operating system taken away. Phones. Tablet. Laptop. Servers. All portable drives, data. If you rely on that hardware for your income (and who doesn't?) you're going to have to buy all of that again. And restore your data, if you are able.
