Again, you don’t get it.
The police did not KNOW that at the time.
The best thing to do is to cooperate till things get straightened out.
People have to use common sense.
Read the little story of my own.
It can happen.
Not really the police’s fault.
Things need to get better, but you have to get over there not being perfection because the best of us are human in all professions.
OK, have to go, picking up the wife (baby boy due in couple of weeks) :-)
“The police did not KNOW that at the time.”
They knew they were at the wrong address. It was right at the warrant that they failed to even read.
“The police did not KNOW that at the time.”
Sure, if you know its the cops. If someone were to break down my door I would not assume its the police.
Not their fault? Are you freaking kidding me!@!!!! Things aren’t getting better, they are getting worse. Police are taxing a kid with a broken back 19 times. They shoot grandmas and plant evidence on her. And then they cry for more authority and bigger weapons.
Someone who breaks into a person's dwelling with the intention of accosting the occupants, without a reasonable belief that the action is legitimate, is a robber.
A cop who breaks into a dwelling without looking at the warrant and confirming that the address is correct cannot have a reasonable belief that his action is legitimate; such a person is thus by definition a robber and he should be prosecuted as such. If he can convince a jury that he had a reasonable belief that his actions were legitimate, they should acquit, but I doubt most juries would look too favorably upon a cop who didn't even bother to read the warrant he was supposed to be serving.
