Most of them didn't. And I'm sure they weren't happy about it. Especially since rallies are now illegal in Germany, home of Porsche/M-cars/AMGs and the world famous autobahns. There is nothing wrong with having a cross country rally, such as this. Which is why people still showed up. They're entitled to the right to assemble.
Now you're just being silly. The ones that didn't show up didn't have their cars locked up. The ones that did turned their cars over to the rally organisers to have them parked in the warehouse, the organisers were planning to go ahead with the rally, the drivers planning to take part in it. The cars weren't even technically confiscated, they property of the organisers was locked and the cars happened to be inside. Their right to assemble (which is not always automatic, depending on your intentions) was still intact.
No, it isn't valid to generalize in both directions, just one. Innocent until proven guilty. That doesn't go "in the other direction".
I don't see what the big deal is. People were planning on taking part in an illegal rally and their cars were locked in the organisers warehouse briefly. I think there are more deserving causes in the world for this outrage.
