Just having a Freenet connection does not get a warrant — though there are researchers who use some fishy statistics which may be reason not to run a very fast node in the US (because running a fast node provably causes false positives in their statistics).
I think you might underestimate how easy it is to get a search warrant, paticularly in the US. This isnt the standard for arrest, let alone conviction. A cop saying "the machine regularly connected to a suspect network" is more than enough for many judges/magistrates... most of which dont know an IP from an IPA.

(Lol, got over v underestimate mixed up.)
Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the lawyer pinch zooming on an photo gallery on an iPhone and arguing its legit is all you need to know
It's fascinating how bipartisan this issue is and how little people still seem to care.
Can you provide examples?
