you are only looking at one side. the acussed "hijacked" could be not a
bad guy, and might sue ARIN due to an error.

bad guys would do nothing and move forward to exploit other breaches.

unless we "the community" promote better and good pratices, thoses
"breaches" will not be closed and no policy would solve the problems

those experts would not answer for any mistaken report.
according the policy is ARIN the one to publish the result of such
investigation and would be up to ARIN to act on it.

so, any legal responsibility would be on ARIN.

just to add.
those so called "experts" would be doing their investigation on data
collected for other objectives not the one proposed in the policy.

there was never any guarantees on those views/archives of collected routes.

more legal risks, I see...
