Wow, held at gunpoint and interrogated for five hours because someone got the IP address wrong.(Random thought: would this sort of thing happen more often with IPv6? The addresses are twice as long, so more chance for error)
Awsome! Imagine the shock of having your door busted open, and then seeing a seven foot tall giant leap in, then realizing that it is SHAQ!? Horrible mistake but I would have asked for his autograph!

The raid victim's letter to the editor is the interesting part.<a class="user" href="http://www.wpcva.com/articles/2006/10/19/chatham/opinion/opinion01.txt">http://www.wpcva.com/articles/2006/10/19/chatham/opinion/opinion01.txt</a>Considering these were people were essentially computer illiterate, I wonder if they even had Internet?Do the cops know yet that you can spoof IP addresses? I wouldn't think a IP address would be grounds for a warrant like this, without some sort of correlating data from their ISP.
