What do you guys think? Too bad? He must not have had insurance//// |

That’s what you get for allowing a suspect to barricade themselves in your home.

There was a cop in NY who had a crook run into his house. I think after a failed entry where a swat team member accidentally killed another cop the house ended up burning down after they fired gas canisters or whatever into the house. Rumor is crook was dead but who's going to order a second entry

Well, a lotta cops are gonna see that ruling and think "that's quite enabling!"
|
|
Judges would rule differently if IT WAS THEM that had this happen. Assholes.

Can't be burdened with accountability or responsibility for their actions.
Things need to change. |

The court acknowledged that this may seem “unfair,” but when police have to protect the public, they can’t be “burdened with the condition” that they compensate whoever is damaged by their actions along the way. View Quote By this theory, a police officer would never risk damaging a police vehicle or other equipment, which is overtly not how it works. |

It's their world we're just living in it.

It sucks that we have to deal with the costs from these shitbags. They should be forced to work in labor camps until full restitution is made to their victims. Should have had insurance. The police destroyed property to protect life. I am ok with that choice.

You can’t be concerned with property damage in the moment but when all is said and done there is a responsibility to make things right. He needs to appeal that to scotus. If a city can pay 19 million for some gay comment this department can buy them a new home and compensate them for the last 5 years.

Why not sue the criminal, or his family, who caused the problem?
Perhaps filing a lawsuit under eminent domain wasn't the best option? |
|
|
Don’t worry guys I am sure all the good cops out there will take care of this.

He knows that. TBL

What’s with all the cop hating threads? Is it crap on Police day? Wtf

FWIW, the GVPD chief is a real piece of work.
Told me suppressors are not for hunting and asked why I needed one and also wrote the first letter to the ATF on pistol braces. Best to ventilate armed intruders on your own accord round these parts. |

Must have been a super-sized t-shirt heist to justify that level of destruction.

How is the guy out $400k if the city paid his deductible and temp housing and insurance paid the rest???? Was he under insured or something?
|
|
That is super fucked up, both places I have copped at had a risk management department that would come out and survey damage and cut a check for damages we caused to third party property in the course of doing business like kicked in doors or broken windows
They wouldn't pay you if you barricaded in your own house or whatever but if we had to boot some old ladies door cause she fell down or bust into a lockout apartment complex for a DV in progress or something they never gave anyone problems with reimbursement. |

When I started fresh out of law school at a small firm, I had a case where they were filming a Cops episode. The police were going to serve a warrant. Right off the bat, they launched tear gas through the windows, ripped the door off, burned part of the house down.
Not only was no one home, it was the wrong house! Suspect lived on a different street. Too bad the city said and refused to pay the damages to the homeowner. Don't know how it turned out, left that place before it wrapped up. |
|
I guess the burden on the city paying for the family's house, out weighed the burden place on the family that lives there.
An over bearing government is no friend of it's citizens. |

They need to be compensated such that they have their house and possessions back just as before. The CITY be forced to have some kind of insurance policy to pay for these things. Is that not a thing? We're forced to buy car insurance in case we fuck up. These municipalities should have to as well. |

He would be out the rental income and whatever amount if his deductible increased. I guess there could be the potential of a decrease in appraised value. Not sure if that amounts to 400k.
|

The police went home safe, so all is well. To be honest, Mr. Ungrateful Homeowner should be forced to pay for clean up and court fees for all police officers involved.

I don't believe that violence will solve much, but if the gov't/police leave someone with little left to lose, as in that situation....
Well, that's a dangerous situation, and it disheartens me that they do not see the danger in it. They are lucky that the homeowner is a civilized man. I feel that government could use this precedent to sidestep eminent domain, or at least save themselves a few bucks. "We thought there was a bad guy in there!" as bulldozers crash through the front door. "well, that house is only worth $5k for the lot, even though it used to be a $400k house right where we wanted that new police station to go. Here's your check." |
