The police really don't seem that clever to be honest...they can't catch terrorists and just shoot innocent people (shoot to kill as well), which makes me think they will make the same mistakes electronically.
Lets not forget that the internet is a mixture of public and private networks and routes are calculated dynamically between end-points...if the police launched such an attack this heavy traffic load would have to travel over someones network which could cause disruption for innocent people...if this happens I hope they get sued.
with regards to encryption, they will probably ask for key escrow next like the american government tried...I will keep using 512-bit AES encryption...they can decrypt that if they have a spare 49 trillion years.
I am just so fed up of their clod hopper / clumsy approach to the things they do.
