If I'm looking into an internet-related crime, the IP address of the offender is gonna be one of the first things I look at. Can someone falsify it? Yes. But not every offender _will_ falsify it, and so it's useful information to at least look into further, even if IP address by itself shouldn't be adequate evidence for a police raid.
