Ideally, law enforcement should have the smarts and tools
to get involved in DDoS and other similar situations and
have the power to compell upstream provider(s) to shut
service to a suspect.

Yes, getting law enforcement involved in BGP and network
engineering in any way is a dangerous thing. I agree 100%.
