I'm in favour of such measures in principle.

Surely the police would have to obtain sufficient evidence or have good solid, beyond a doubt, probable cause to do this?
Just in the same manner they can't enter and search a property without a warrant issued by the court, they shouldn't be able to do this without going through the due process.

I think the issue of Civil Liberty infringement is being way over-played. If spammers and fraudsters are left to continue to get away wth their illegal activities then I see no reason why their civil liberties (to use the internet etc) shouldn't be removed. They have not respected others, so they should punished accordingly, just as if someone who is sent to prison will loose their civil liberties and freedoms.

The Police and Courts will need to coordinate somewhat with the ISP's, and this will undoubtably have an affect on the ISP's.
