Wouldn't the Disaster Recovery/backup equipment also be confiscated by the police?

The 1 in 3-2-1 would ensure you have a copy offsite as well.

How far offsite? Like, across the street? In another town? Out of state?

Does a small-town newspaper expect to be raided by law enforcement and build a disaster recovery plan around that, or a tornado?

They don't call it "The Long Arm of the Law" for no reason.

Well, if your attack vector is local law enforcement, then in a different jurisdiction would be a good start. Working your way further and further toward whatever makes it most annoying for them to get to.

One would have to think about it and investigate. Say, they might confiscate your laptop with thunderbird and your mail archive but they probably wont delete your webmail account or forbid you from using it. At least I imagine if the point is to gather information it doesn't include deleting it or taking control of it? If they really want to delete your things I imagine one could create an append only webservice.

Preserving some things (without hiding anything) is better than nothing.

I recommend to parties I work with that are at risk from these sorts of events to keep their BCDR (business continuity disaster recovery) data corpus at risk in European datacenters owned by European companies. Can be as simple as rsyncs or blob storage backups, or active infra always running, depending on budget and organizational needs and maturity.
