How comes the cops didn't raid all tor exit nodes?
How comes the cops didn't raid all tor exit nodes: set up clearnet illegal site, visit it from tor hitting as many exit nodes as possible, raid them from the logs? My explanation is they don't want to do it.

You only need to raid a single exit node loudly to scare off the rest... Ho Lu said to him: "I have carefully perused your 13 chapters. May I submit your theory of managing soldiers to a slight test?" Sun Tzu replied: "You may." Ho Lu asked: "May the test be applied to women?" The answer was again in the affirmative, so arrangements were made to bring 180 ladies out of the Palace. Sun Tzu divided them into two companies, and placed one of the King's favorite concubines at the head of each. He then bade them all take spears in their hands, and addressed them thus: "I presume you know the difference between front and back, right hand and left hand?" The girls replied: Yes. Sun Tzu went on: "When I say "Eyes front," you must look straight ahead. When I say "Left turn," you must face towards your left hand. When I say "Right turn," you must face towards your right hand. When I say "About turn," you must face right round towards your back." Again the girls assented. The words of command having been thus explained, he set up the halberds and battle-axes in order to begin the drill. Then, to the sound of drums, he gave the order "Right turn." But the girls only burst out laughing. Sun Tzu said: "If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, then the general is to blame." So he started drilling them again, and this time gave the order "Left turn," whereupon the girls once more burst into fits of laughter. Sun Tzu: "If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, the general is to blame. But if his orders ARE clear, and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers." So saying, he ordered the leaders of the two companies to be beheaded. Now the king of Wu was watching the scene from the top of a raised pavilion; and when he saw that his favorite concubines were about to be executed, he was greatly alarmed and hurriedly sent down the following message: "We are now quite satisfied as to our general's ability to handle troops. If We are bereft of these two concubines, our meat and drink will lose their savor. It is our wish that they shall not be beheaded." Sun Tzu replied: "Having once received His Majesty's commission to be the general of his forces, there are certain commands of His Majesty which, acting in that capacity, I am unable to accept." Accordingly, he had the two leaders beheaded, and straightway installed the pair next in order as leaders in their place. When this had been done, the drum was sounded for the drill once more; and the girls went through all the evolutions, turning to the right or to the left, marching ahead or wheeling back, kneeling or standing, with perfect accuracy and precision, not venturing to utter a sound. Then Sun Tzu sent a messenger to the King saying: "Your soldiers, Sire, are now properly drilled and disciplined, and ready for your majesty's inspection. They can be put to any use that their sovereign may desire; bid them go through fire and water, and they will not disobey." Alfie -- Alfie John https://www.alfie.wtf

Hm, are you sure? IIRC at least several exit nodes have been raided.
Come on, it's the principle! When you're one convict prison commander with 1000 convicts and only three guards, how do you control them in a god forsaken outback post like early colonial Australia? When one plays up, you flog someone else, someone who didn't actually do anything wrong, someone random. Then they self police. Call it tall poppy or some better name, but the goal is the point - intimidation and self censorship, self policing, avoidance of the possible problem etc, of those who would stand up and be counted e.g. by running a Tor exit node in the pursuit of freedoms and liberty. In this modern, civilized, respectable age <ahem>, the arthorratays can only get away with so much random punishment, but they still try, creating an environment of "guilty until you prove your own damn innocence", "we will randomly raid you even though we know your Tor exit node is a common carrier, and if you don't hand over your passwords immediately for our infestigation we WILL make your life a living hell" and variations on the theme. You have freedoms and rights and inviolable protections, only within the limits of the interests of the power elite/ bankers/ government/ military industrial complex of the day.
