No. Resource certificates can allow holders to demonstrate to law enforcement that they are the certified holders of address space. However, under Dutch law, resource certificates do not qualify as goods that are capable of being confiscated. Resource certificates exist only to drive a routing preference. The existence of a certificate and ROA is a positive message; the absence of a certificate is not a negative one.
