> I will remember to photograph all my equipment Don't bother. They also took my digital camera. And my fax machine. (disclaimer: It was 2004 - nowadays I don't have a fax). :) The thing is not about if you can prove that something was damaged by the police. The thing is how much time and energy do you want to spend on getting a small compensation for that stuff. If you want to prove a point: go on but don't think that there will be any consequences for a police officer because of this. In my case for me it was just not worth it. The PC was pretty old and suing through 3 instances would have taken some years. I learned from the thing one lesson: Don't run an open wifi network in Germany - because even if you're not guilty the process of a criminal investigation will fuck up your daily routine. (That's also why I don't run TOR nodes even though I think it's an important project.)
