Wild that it has to go to the supreme court to decide this

Relevant info: Raid occurred in 2017, this is not a new case. Viewer may be misguided by headline.

The people of our country should be suing the US government for each and every illegal raid, detainment and instance of harassment

Interesting. I’ll remember this if it happens to me.

Unanimous decision for the plaintiffs – a rare win for citizens vs the government!

Same thing happened in April to a family in Oklahoma City. Right house, but wrong occupants. Their target had recently moved out. FBI, ICE and DHS terrorized a mother and her young daughters, took their phones, computers, and a large amount of cash. They thought they were being kidnapped and robbed. I would have thought the same thing.
Edit: Mistakenly posted that this was in Ohio. Updated to Oklahoma City. Thanks for the correction!

So wait, is this a crack in qualified immunity?

I still don’t understand how law enforcement cannot default be forced to pay for damages as a result of mistake. It shouldn’t be a lawsuit, it should insruancece assessor bills the agency insurance to make the citizens whole.

It would be nice if they did away with qualified immunity while they’re at it.

Turning the fbi into a laughingstock. Directing fbi agents to investigate people throwing rocks at teslas or whatever the fck

Now make the same judgement for the cops. Busting into the wrong house is not okay!

It’s such bullcrap that the government isn’t liable when they cause harm or damages when they made a mistake. Can’t they just admit they made a mistake and compensate they victims? They know they made a mistake and don’t want to make it right. M

Justice is glacially slow

There should be a three strikes rule against cops violating peoples‘ constitutional rights. Once is a warning. Twice, you are suspended for 6 months. Three times, done being a cop forever anywhere.
The constitution is the highest law of the land. But the police just go around violating peoples‘ rights like it’s no big deal. We need to make it one.

If this is the one I’m thinking of, one of the agents even said he thought they had the wrong house but his boss told him to shut up. There is no bigger sign of unchecked authority then going through with a raid without checking you have the right house.

Good decision. Kind of surprised how balanced some of these SCOTUS rulings have been. They’ve done a good job of correctly interpreting the law shockingly.

Are the officers able to be arrested for any crimes they commit?
SCOTUS says no.
But the survivors of that mistake can get some cash, paid for not by the assailant officers, but your own tax dollars.
Thanks, SCOTUS! /s
