It's so easy to use GoogleEarth to take a good look at any address before making a raid.

Mistakes like this arise out of two problems ~ the agent leading the raid has no idea how to verify an address on the USPS.com site, or how to case the area using GoogleEarth.

Much of this arises out of their misperception that using these tools will somehow violate the 4th Amendment by not getting an administrative warrant (at least) to look at the standard data bases.

The lady will get a new door out of this.

In this case it was at the same building, but the other apartment of the two that shared the floor.

I keep wondering, why not have a harmless looking person like a mailman or a Jehovah’s Witness knock on the door and get the occupant to open it — THEN the police spring?
