Traffic doesn't "go through there", that's the whole point of P2P. All a tracker does is let people find each other.

Traffic still goes through it. A seeder attaches and says "I am here and have these hashes". The a leecher connects and says "who has these hashes".

So yes, data "goes through it". Do you think law enforcement understands the nuance of metadata vs actual data?
