"I got absolutely no work done."
That's the tactics they use (don't ask how I know that). Be strong and welcome to Germany!

There is a german word for it - 'Zersetzung'. It was used by Stasi in former divided Germany and for sure has been used in recent years against other folks of the Tor community.
Examples?
Edit: Not really sure why asking for examples gets downvotes. Google news search definitely didn't turn up anything but this story.
What do you think embassies are for?
It seems likely that Germany was cooperative, at the least. But they needn't be. These are spies we're talking about, afterall.
There is good reason to keep them (Police and Intelligence) separated, in germany we call this 'Trennungsgebot', this is a direct historical consequence of the Gestapo.
So, technically, is the FBI a police or an intelligence agency?
The CIA, a "pure" intelligence agency, has been competing with the FBI for decades, leading to the FBI becoming more and more of an intelligence agency over time (in addition to their law enforcement "police" activities).
Yes, the line continues to blur.
And yes, that could be the legal system working normally, but there have been cases where the government already knows about the exit node, but doesn't reveal that information to the judge while obtaining a warrant.
