I have to enter a plea of ignorance, I'm simply not computer savvy enough to know what a spoofed hostname involves. My whole point was that if the owner of the IP address in the law's eyes are considered responsible (the gist of the dialog between HarryT and myself) then once they have found what they need, they won't go any further. Police organizations are no different from any other large scale bureaucracy, they will stop working the moment they can avoid doing anything more. They are more concerned about being caught doing something incorrect rather than achieving beyond the parameters of their task masters.
