In my neck of the woods...we are required to stake out the house...get a written description of the residence...verify everything...take it to supervisor...before even applying for a search warrant...been in law enforcement for 20 years...never had a wrong residence hit....

How many of your corrupt brothers did you turn in? |
IOW, it ain't rocket science. The problem here is the failure to do standard police work. This means that if this kind of thing happens at all, it IS a management problem. That makes it political.
Making it cost them buckets of money is the only thing that will work.
Do you have a written department procedure to this effect? If we copied it and got some NGO (such as the SAF) to send it to police departments around the country and monitor the consequences, they will have been notified of a "standard of procedure." Failure to perform accordingly would then cost them dearly in court. The SAF (or its equivalent) might then find a nice income in recovered court costs, just as leftist NGOs do when they sue over environmental crap.

Mine was slightly different. I foreclosed on a house, and moved in to fix it up. Same smasked doors....cuffed me, and put me on a freezing floor, while they ransacked the house, and left it a shambles. Nobody would listen to me explain that the previous owner no longer lived there.
