neither Europol nor the FBI can just walk into any data center and request images of any server that handles Tor traffic without a warrant, which would require some tangible evidence to support its release

What about with a data request by a judge in Italy, raising a sealed subpoena through a Texas court to get the FBI to physically remove a server from a datacenter in London belonging to a UK organisation, without informing them, the UK government or the UK police, all while keeping the original reasons for this under seal, and then suddenly returning the hardware just as mysteriously as it was first taken, without thinking you should have to explain a single thing?

That happened to Indymedia years ago. - https://www.eff.org/cases/indymedia-server-takedown

As long as everyone has someone else to point to who is responsible, these things will continue to happen. It's the same pretty much everywhere in the world.
