The fact that law enforcement isn't responsible for damages during a search is problematic. When it's done somewhere when they've screwed up the address is even worse. "oops, sorry" should not be enough.

Especially with body cameras becoming ubiquitous, it should be easy enough to distinguish between necessary and excessive damage.

And once the distinction is made?

[dec0dedab0de]

pay people who are victims of excessive damage, and punish the people responsible.

[ImPostingOnHN]

Ah, that leaves us where we are now: able to recognize excessive force and excessive damage, but lacking the ability to punish the people responsible, who also decide not to pay victims anything.
