“When police—including the FBI—raid the wrong house, they must be held responsible for the damages,” said IJ Senior Attorney Anya Bidwell. “The 11th Circuit let the government off the hook in this case, and we are hopeful that the Supreme Court will do the right thing and ensure that Americans can feel secure in their own homes.”

    Cop was running away from you? No problem, cops do it all the time.

    Afraid for your life because the cop sneezed? No problem, cops are always afraid and shoot people because they’re scared.
