This raid was a blatant fourth amendment violation.

It would be if it were intentional. And I believe if they had found any evidence of crime it would have to be thrown out.

From a civil standpoint the lady can sue for damages, but that's not a constitutional issue.

“It would be if it were intentional”

Given the repeated attempts of the lieutenant to justify this raid because they had a warrant for another address, and the fact that the lady’s house was the residence intruded, the raid was very much intentional.

Claiming that such a raid is “not intentional” is misinformation. The moment the residence was intruded the officers revealed their *intention* to unconstutionally violate the lady’s rights.

What’s next? Will you justify the average burglar if the burglar claims he thought he was entering a different residence?
