And if destroying property isn't taking it from the lawful owner,what is it?
The courts can be,and often are,just plain wrong!Sometimes those decisions are reversed years later.
Anyone who supports the rule of law which is fair and impartial should be dismayed by this ruling.Because it means when the cops in their macho ninja masks smash your door,kill your pets, and maybe injure or kill you or your loved ones by mistake,"they were just doing their job" and needn't worry about paying .
People who cannot be called to account for their actions are liable to become arrogant and careless.I'd rather the police took time to do the job right.
All fully complied with.
Under these facts, reasonable minds could not differ.
I reckon had the police found the son's meth lab, there's a chance the son may still be alive and the warehouse it was in not damaged/destroyed. And if you think such manufacturing operation wasn't happening at the time of the raid, yet the son dies in a meth lab fire a year later - exactly what police had searched for, you're yeilding to a rather simplistic opinion.
