Federal law should correct this and give all citizens right to recourse and damages.
I am no lawyer, but this seems like a government taking and should be covered under the Takings Clause. The government made the decision to destroy this man’s shop for its own interest - the pursuit of a fugitive. No opinion about the merits of that decision matters, only that they took it. They could have just waited him out (turns out he escaped anyway, making them look like keystone cops). But they chose to take the property and then proceeded to damage it for their interests. They are responsible for compensation under the Takings clause.
Reno, are you sure you’re not a statist? It’s not the job of the federal government to heal all wounds. This is solely a state law issue. I truly regret that there’s no recourse for this fellow, but sovereign immunity can have harsh results
ABSOLUtELY!!!!!!!
They damage it, they pay for it.
