I believe the new laws will allow Police and other state entities to lock wallets, seize coins, and burn them if they want to. It seems they don't even have to claim they are the proceeds of crime. This new law comes into force at the end of this month.
I'm more interested in exploring the hard drives I've got to find what I own. I think I have some BAT as well, but that wallet has probably been closed, if it hasn't I'll try to transfer it into Bitcoin. That's one transaction that will need some care, as I needed to provide KYC to Uphold to open the wallet. Transferring the coins to an address that didn't have any KYC transactions would compromise the address. That raises another caution, if I am consolidating micro-transactions, then I don't want to mix addresses if one of them had a KYC transaction. I'm not so worried about $5 wrenches, as I could set up a multi-sig wallet. I'm a Gemini, so I could use both personalities.
I'm more interested in the possibilities of installing core on another machine, copying the blockchain and associated files from my new node, and adding the wallet data from one of the old hard drives. If I can then access any coins in the wallet, I can send them to an address on the master node, or just import the address to save fees.
