A terrifying helmet cam video, released to the public Wednesday, depicts a SWAT team executing a search warrant on the home of a 68-year-old woman and her 18-year-old adopted daughter. The video is raising questions of privacy, reasonable force and police due diligence. They had the wrong place.
The raid of Louise Milan and daughter Stephanie Milan’s Evansville, Ind. home was accompanied by the sound of shattering glass and multiple flash-bang grenades. It was all due to the Milan’s non-password protected Internet router, according to the Evansville Courier & Press.
The raid was prompted by a series of threatening posts directed at police chief Bolin. The officers left the Milan residence with the family’s computers and cell phones. An examination of there items revealed their innocence. A neighbor had tapped into their non-secure router to send the threats.

Carpenters measure twice, cut once....maybe the police SWATS could learn something from that?
Wisdom would be to at least verify that information before ruining someone’s house/life.
Of course that would require restraint.
Compensation for damage to their house will only be recovered (if then) by a costly law suit against the city. And the actual culprits are rarely liable.
Nah, they swear by one of my Dad's favorite adages (in German)..."Twice I cut it off and it's still too short."
That's because carpenters learn from their mistakes. The problem is that the first step in learning from your mistakes is admitting you made a mistake in the fist place, and that ain't happening.
LOL ... Spoofed!
SO DID THE STUPID COPS EVER GO DO THE SAME THING AT THE RIGHT HOUSE?????
DID THEY EVER ARREST THE RIGHT PERSON????
DIP$!TZ
It was a metaphor.
“they had the wrong place”
When the police break into the home of an innocent person without a search warrant, they have broken the law and must go to jail.
If they have a search warrant and they go to the wrong home they have broken the law and must go to jail.
An unsecured router led to this stunning military type raid???
The ultimate expression, and eventual end-game of "See something, say something."
And people wonder why there is such a negative perception of law enforcement in the US today.
It was fun and cutting up after they executed their raid.... I wonder if any of these JBT had a ounce of remorse they tore up a completely innocent persons home...let alone arrested two innocent people...
My Gawd, I would hang my head in shame....
Wow, it’s a good thing that these brave swat team thug put the scared LITTLE girl in hand cuffs along with the 68 year old mother.
These swat thugs had no idea if there were little children playing on the floor or if there was a baby laying on a blanket when they threw two flash bangs into the house.
Well at least they went home safe and that is all that matters, f thet innocent mother and little girl.
Who ever issue the order should be responsible for ALL damages for not doing any type of investigation prior to the thug raid.
This is the kind of crap people need to worry about. Not riot control.
