Cool, speeding tickets for people with 10Gbps links in production today.

We don't need a "police force" per se as much as a functionary who, on
behalf of the paying membership of the registry, tries to establish
(e.g., with a phone call!  or some email!) whether the announcement
is a question of simple, honest misconfiguration or misunderstanding,
or whether it's deliberate.   Moreover, with another couple of
phone calls (or email), a deliberately bad announcer can talk with 
the network(s) immediately upstream from a deliberate bad-announcer
and suggest that the membership as a whole would appreciate the
installation of strict filters against the bad announcer.

If that produces no results, rat out the source and its immediate
upstreams to the whole membership.

| and the offending party will announce 32 /23s..  what will this solve?

Great, so we know that the offending party is not only deliberately
announcing bogus data into the routing system, but actually _disrupting_
it.  This is what real-life police are for.
