Couldn't bad players just send and receive through other peoples connections, maybe even pretend to be someone else on purpose, in order to get them arrested? It's pretty trivial to jump on someone's wi-fi, and use throw away emails.

If they do their homework first and see Aunt Mildred only goes to facebook and cooking-network.com, and suddenly she's sending death threats to public officials, they might knock on her door and politely ask to put a wifi surveillance device in her home to pinpoint the intruder's signal. Sure you could steal signals or go to starbucks (which has cameras of course ) a few times and maybe get away with it, but to do it reliably, on demand, is very difficult.
