Reasonable compensation in addition
Hence our difference of opinion.
What is reasonable when your home was intruded into in the middle of the night - potentially at an "intimate moment" with your spouse. You are thrown down, handcuffed, then forced to watch as the "police" voyeur you daughter and her friends while they are getting dressed? You are then taken out into your yard, half clothed, while the "police" plunder your home. I don't think 8 million is enough.
If it doesn't cost more than the gain, the behavior doens't change. That is human nature.

While the inconvienience, embarassment, and personal humiliation of the circumstance you describe are absolutely a matter of fact; the point is that those people responsible are NOT PENALIZED in the Civil Suit...they don't pay out of THEIR pockets...and have no jail time...and have no incentive not to do the same thing next week.

That's the point: why do taxpayers ALWAYS have to foot the bill for incompetence and stupidity of public "servants"?
