Politifact has an interesting article on the cyber police topic:

Politifact says that
it is technologically possible for Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
to significantly limit the flow of Internet traffic
because
the network operator community is fairly tight-knit, so "it is
conceivable that (network operators) could coordinate a response to a
major event and terminate basic connectivity within a matter of
minutes." Network operators who maintain the Internet backbone share
cell phone information, have regular meetings, and often work together
through established channels in emergencies.
(The "have regular meetings" text is a link to nanog.org)
