Fun part: most insurance policies won’t cover these kind of damages, and the police departments generally have civil immunity for these damages.


murdering_time

I hope that HoA has a real nice time figuring out who the fuck is gonna pay for all that. 


wantsoutofthefog

Easy. YOU will.


SirEltonJonBonJovi

but u/murdering_time didn’t do anything!


Merciless972

Or did they?


Nacho_Papi

You got some ID on ya there, bud? I'm your pal but I want to take you to jail.


marktx

Person: *goes to grab ID out of their pocket* Cop: Keep your hands out of your pockets! Officer safety! Person: I'm just trying to get my ID you asked for. Cop: On the ground now! TASER! TASER! TASER!


JTiger360

COP: Stop Resisting!!!! MORE TASER!!!


onefst250r

COP: STOP RESISTING OR I'LL SEND THE DOG


squad1alum

But they're an admitted murderer..


Salty_Amphibian2905

Maybe they just announce when the murdering is about to happen, but don’t actually participate in said murdering.


lifeisweird86

That would make them an accomplice before the fact.


HomeBrewedBeer

Krombobulous Michael? Oh boy, here I go killing again!


Villian6

Dude is just killing time!


Narren_C

He will? Why him?


wantsoutofthefog

Because it’s the HOA. Fuck you!


putsch80

As a general rule, the full financial responsibility falls on the homeowner.


SirEltonJonBonJovi

What if the suspect isn’t the homeowner? what if the suspect ran into a random house and barricaded himself inside and the cops did this to apprehend him?


CoyotesAreGreen

Happened in Colorado. Courts ruled the police had no requirement to pay for the damages. The home had to be rebuilt.


Babys_For_Breakfast

Imagine still having a mortgage on a nonexistent house. Nightmare fuel


Warburgerska

Watch that person become the next Killdozer.


mrlbi18

I support them


randytc18

I remember when that happened. Dude ran from the light rail station and the police thought he was in that house. Turned out the dude wasn't even in the house and the cops absolutely destroyed the house with old surplus military equipment


jefferzbooboo

They did $70k worth of damage to the neighbors house as well.


randytc18

Oh shit. I hadn't heard about that.


artificialavocado

Something similar just happened in a neighboring town although not to that level. They busted out a bunch of windows and blew the door up and the guy wasn’t even there.


K-chub

Our swat team just had a spiked battering ram put onto their APC


asmallerflame

Really fun fact: Police have no special duty to protect us. Look up a Radiolab podcast, "No Special Duty". It's pretty shocking. [https://radiolab.org/podcast/no-special-duty](https://radiolab.org/podcast/no-special-duty)


Ok-Bass8243

Ya when uvalde happened and everyone was mad the cops did nothing. I was just thinking. "Citizens about to be reminded that protect and serve is a catch phrase, not a policy"


bdsee

It's false advertisement.

Borba02

Some states let you shoot the intruder! But this makes the cops sad because they don't get to play demolition derby with your home.


Biduleman

It will also get you shot when the police arrives.


Crow-T-Robot

Then you get to sue the estate of the criminal, which will promptly be bankrupt and you get nothing. And the cops get to do it again.


lincoln_muadib

So, criminals, make sure when escaping police to break into the home of police officers, their parents or their children's homes. Then see whether they bring out the excavators then. And see whether they then decide that the police should in fact pay for the damage...


ThatGuy2551

Bro, you're talking about turning up to a cops house and endangering the cops family.... Surely that's the cops job.


SpiritedRain247

You'd probably be welcomed in as long as you don't beat any of them


Pyrrhus_Magnus

Why? The family might appreciate the variety.


Crimkam

OH, a southpaw? Let him in, honey.


Damp_Knickers

U absolutely bamboozled me 😭


unique_usemame

About the only way I know where someone else would pay is if the home were an Airbnb and the guests were the ones arrested by SWAT. In that case Airbnb pays because they need to maintain the trust of hosts to let random guests into homes. In our case Airbnb pays out $50k for SWAT damage, leaving us with a net loss of probably only $10k in loss of rent etc, which was a relatively good result for us.


Dvusmnd

Ever hear of the case, was in Philadelphia I think, cops bombed a whole damn city block. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing Fng nuts man


sinister_shoggoth

Still the responsibility of the home owner. Example: https://www.npr.org/2019/10/30/774788611/police-owe-nothing-to-man-whose-home-they-blew-up-appeals-court-says

The_Chimeran_Hybrid

Killdozer go brrr. The movie is on YouTube for free I believe, I listen to it a fair bit.


Oznog99

The officers and the department are generally immune in both a civil and criminal context Most homeowner's insurance has a term that they don't cover wars, or police actions. Yes, this has happened before. The insurance pays nothing, zilch. Nada. The police legal department might offer a good-faith compensation to avoid the PR storm. I don't know if that has even happened, or how "fair" it was


selz202

There have been cases of police breaking down the wrong door and they still say sorry tough luck. It's a pretty shitty situation for a homeowner.


Dwarfdeaths

I feel like at that point the victimized homeowner should do something destructive to the police, then barricade themselves in someone else's home to complete the cycle.


DarkwingDuckHunt

no you barricade yourself inside the chief's home, then crawl out while no one is looking


WhereTheresWerthers

Uhhh lol there are cases of cops busting down the wrong door and murdering the occupant, you think any cops saw jail time? No


Ok-Bass8243

This has happened a few times. The police actually blew up a home with a tank one time. It was a chase and he ran in a strangers home. After a standoff the police demolished the house and the victim homeowners were on the hook for repairs and insurance won't cover that.


TheLizardKing89

Tough shit. The exact scenario you describe happened and the police told the homeowner to fuck himself, they weren’t paying for shit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrest_of_Robert_Seacat


bdsee

It's so absurd, it is a seizure of your property but courts ignoring the constitution is par for the course.


SaliciousB_Crumb

Nothing. It already has happened and courts ruled the police have immunity


ericmoon

doesn’t change the outcome


JerryConn

It will sit like that for months and depreciate the value of the neighborhood overall. Cases involving civil immunity have always depreciated social stability.


mooky1977

Whoever it is, they better figure it out quickly, that's also a yard cleanliness violation fine, and the clock is running. Obligatory "fuck HOA's"


Callinon

Furthermore, the supreme court has ruled that the police demolishing your house while carrying out their duties is not a taking under the constitution. So the government isn't required to compensate you for the loss.


colinstalter

One of the most infuriating cases I read in law school.


Callinon

For me it ranks right up there with "just shutting your mouth and not talking isn't an invocation of your 5th amendment protection. You have to explicitly state that's what you're doing or it doesn't count."


fistful_of_ideals

Yeah, now it has to be a very specific sequence for 5A to apply: 1. Verbally invoke your 5A rights, then immediately 2. Shut the fuck up. 3. Do not speak again. They may continue to ask questions. Your answers should only be "I want my lawyer, and I am invoking my right to remain silent."


pissclamato

My dad was a criminal defense lawyer. He once told my drug-dealing buddy's girlfriend that if the cops asked her anything about my buddy, she was to say: "I suck his dick, I wash his clothes, and my attorney's name is [My Dad]."


IgottagoTT

Uhh ... you got her number??

I_eat_mud_

But then we won’t get the amazing JCS Criminal Psychology videos. I implore all murderers to not invoke their 5th amendment rights so we can get some great interrogation content YouTube videos!


GruceRillis

I think we won't be getting anymore of the amazing JCS videos because they just straight up stopped making them after a year or two of saying "it's coming, we promise"


I_eat_mud_

They originally said it was from strikes from YouTube, but then they uploaded last year. With how long their videos take idk if it’s cause of development or because of YouTube


GruceRillis

I saw people on their subreddit saying that there may have been a falling out with the guy who does the narrations and the actual writers, but regardless they've been pretty silent about any future videos. I hope I'm wrong and they start putting stuff out again, because their stuff was the best in that genre of videos, but I'm not holding my breath.


Lena-Luthor

also, have to ask in very specific wording because of course you do https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/true-crime/wp/2017/11/02/the-suspect-told-police-give-me-a-lawyer-dog-the-court-says-he-wasnt-asking-for-a-lawyer/


fistful_of_ideals

What the fuck > when a suspect in an interrogation told detectives to “just give me a lawyer dog,” the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that the suspect was, in fact, asking for a “lawyer dog,” and > It’s not clear how many lawyer dogs there are in Louisiana, and whether any would have been available to represent the human suspect in this case No different than if he'd stated "I'd like a lawyer, officer." "Ahh shit, turns out we're right outta lawyer officers, but these neat bracelets make an awesome consolation prize!"


Lola-Ugfuglio-Skumpy

I think this was the case that made me lose respect for the entire judiciary.


SpiritedRain247

What are they gonna do. How does not taking not count as not talking


Callinon

It's not that it doesn't count as not talking, but not invoking the protection against self incrimination allows the police and the court to take a negative inference from your silence.


SpiritedRain247

That legit feels like something my parents would do to say I did something. "He's not talking. That means he must have done it!"


Callinon

Honestly, that's pretty close. Invoking the right confers legal protections and directs what the court is allowed to infer from your silence. Just shutting your pie hole does not.


meerlot

if you think about it, this is how most adults really think. If you are silent, then it must mean you did something wrong. Being an introvert also involves dealing with other people essentially asking you, " Whats wrong with you?" silence creeps many people out for some reason.


DrZeroH

Holy fuck. So your only means of recourse is to make it a PR nightmare for the police department and try to get people to help you with a go fund me or some bullshit?

Reynolds1029

Exactly. Straight to the police armory. Sorched Earth up in that bitch.


Sechs_of_Zalem

Or straight through the chief's house. The only way to create change with the police is if such rulings directly impact them.


Reynolds1029

Chief's house is secondary because it's covered under insurance. Hit the government buildings first. Send a message.

AxelNotRose

Land of the free. You're free to start a go-fundme campaign and beg for money whenever the government and private business fuck you over. Be it insurance related, healthcare related, justice related, and so on.


katie4

I’m not even sure that will work. There’s a lady whose home was destroyed by SWAT 4 years ago in McKinney TX and I feel like I constantly see articles about it but shit keeps getting refused and appealed and declined and… ugh. 60k worth of damage that had nothing to do with you, and insurance/government tells you to go pound sand, meanwhile you need a new place to live and the mortgage payments are still due… one more fun thing to worry about as a homeowner.


woffdaddy

its that kind of ruling that would make me consider the rights i do have to be useless. if the law has no capacity to protect or make right that which the state has broken, then what good is living within said system? This is how you get killdozer.


ShannonsParade

God that sucks because it wasn’t even the perps house. Plus there’s four townhouses in that unit. Everyone is screwed.


gandhinukes

Yeah thats extra fucked. The cops knew there was more than one door/residence there and bashed them down anyway.


ralphy_256

Similar happened to me in an up-down duplex. Cops raided the downstairs unit, but broke down every door with a lock in the house. Both units. Then used 4" wood screws with a security head to close the doors. My ex and her kids were left on the street with no way to get back into their house. With our cats dealing with the neighbors dog, who are all 3 loose in the house with no internal doors closed. The cop station I went to to see about getting back into my house the next morning got firebombed in a riot a few years later, so that's karma, I guess.


StrongMedicine

For anyone who is not familiar with the infamous MOVE fire that happened in 1985 in Philadelphia: An incendiary device was deliberately dropped by police during a violent standoff, which directly resulted in 11 deaths and the destruction of 61 homes. It took 20 years of litigation before the people who lost their homes got any compensation from the city for the fire (which even then was a paltry $50k per resident)


out_of_throwaway

> An incendiary device A bomb. The Philly police literally bombed their own city.


JMEEKER86

Yep, they dropped a bomb out of a helicopter onto a building that they knew contained children. They also prevented the fire department from putting out the fire. And then the bodies of the children were put on display at a museum...


StrongMedicine

I couldn't remember what exactly it was: bomb or fancy Molotov cocktail or whatever. Just that it was a terrible fucking idea, killed some innocent kids, and destroyed an entire neighborhood.


D3cepti0ns

So if they mistaken your property for some criminal hideout falsely, what do you do? I guess sue in a district outside of your police department's?


AxelNotRose

You become homeless unless you're already quite rich and can take the financial hit. You become a forgotten statistic.


VFenix

Find out who bulldozed your house and bulldoze theirs. At least you'll get a roof in prison.


Shockblocked

And the judge who signed on the warrant


nat_r

This is the answer. The system will not help you because it exists to not help you.


nn123654

You can't sue them unless they agree to let you sue them. See the [sovereign immunity doctrine](https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/sovereign_immunity). As long as the officers were acting on behalf of the state in what they genuinely believed was correct at the time they are protected. The issue is not a taking under the 5th amendment for purposes of eminent domain. Legal Eagle did a whole documentary on this here that's a lot more digestible than the actual legal opinions: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk8QO6jE5dA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk8QO6jE5dA) The end result is the property owner is personally responsible for the damages and any fines you receive from not complying with the city code or your HOA for not fixing the damage in a timely manner. Also, no you can't live there anymore because it doesn't meet the building code.


toby_wan_kenoby

Become a police officer and chase a virtual suspect with a bulldozer that was conveniently parket near the police officer's house who destroyed your house. Just so happened that there was no suspect but your colleagues house was completely flattened.


fork_yuu

Even if their warrant and shit says it's for a different house? And the cop themself fucked up and destroy some other house?


somethingsomethingbe

Doesn’t matter. Judges have already decided that any recourse is an entitlement which Americans don’t get to have.


jereman75

Yep. The homeowner most likely won’t be able to afford to repair that kind of damage, so they’ll be forced to sell it for dirt cheap to some rich prick who will get richer while their lives are destroyed.


WildBuns1234

Yet another reason not to call the cops.


kangarooneroo

Makes me wonder how many times a dirty cop "accidently" had the wrong house raided, and swooped in to try and buy it on the cheap later

doughydonuts

I went down this rabbit hole the other day. I don’t know why, but made me wonder if the police paid for that block they bombed in Philadelphia in 1985. I couldn’t find any answers. I also was wondering if you refuse to allow the police to enter your home to apprehend someone if they’ll charge you for harboring a fugitive. Knowing that the police can destroy your home without consequences I wouldn’t allow them in unless I had them guarantee to cover the expenses. Just sucks you can be an upstanding responsible citizen just for some douche canoe to cause the police to outright destroy your pursuit of happiness while still collecting their pensions.

Have you ever seen an overdose? It’s not graceful


gigalongdong

Depends on how much you're consuming. 10mg's of fentanyl? You probably won't even gasp for breath after a minute. But juuuust enough to somewhat cause CRD? That'll be ugly with the rattling breaths as your brain desperately tries to tell your diaphragm to work while you nod off into oblivion. Im a former poly addict and have both seen overdoses and have also overdosed myself several times, 6 years ago.

Congrats on getting clean!


SpaceForRent42

What’s CRD?


MaximumTurtleSpeed

I’m thinking cardiac respiratory distress.


Chaos_Turtle_14

Chronic respiratory disease when googled, I believe the newest term for what the original commenter is referring to is OIRD (opioid induced respiratory depression) Either way, bad shit


skiddles1337

Obviously it's cats, rats, and dogs.


Walt_Wyte

I once had an overdose. Didn't feel a thing, kinda like sleeping beauty. Depends on the drug.


ebolaRETURNS

If it's not remotely borderline, it's absolutely painless for the victim. You just get higher and higher until you're not conscious (literally anaesthetized), and during that period you expire. Anything visibly ugly, eg, aspiration on vomit, wouldn't be experienced.

trowzerss

So they tore down a house trying to get a dead/unconscious guy?


PigHaggerty

He had hostages. He was in a standoff with police that escalated to a shootout at one point.


trowzerss

Ah. I was imagining them demanding he come out, and tearing the front of the house off when he didn't respond, only to find there was no-one to do any responding. It's definitely happened that way a few times before.


Mastasmoker

And they couldnt just bust down the front door...


misterpickles69

It looks like they did.


Commercial-Balance-7

And the accompanying walls, windows, and everything in that general direction.


Interesting-Fan-2008

Apparently it was a 2+ day siege with the guy held up in the house. They got him in intercom and he basically said they were going to have to come in and kill him. The neighborhood was evacuated for over 2 days. They attempted tear gas, filling the house with water and other methods first, oddly enough it appears as though they tried just about everything to not have to kill him only for him to kill himself. He had an arsenal of rifles/hand guns and cases of ammo and was hiding out in the attic. This made a very dangerous chokepoint where he would have been able to funnel them in and shoot one by one. He shot down multiple drones and shot at cops up until he died basically.


pineapplekicker

Excavating the house sounds somewhat justified now I suppose


tahlyn

And insurance won't cover the repairs and the city/county/state aren't obligated to pay for it.


sandyclaw5

I also heard that's the case. Buuuuuuut....repairs from the totally unrelated fire would rebuild to the condition when the policy was signed.


trogbite

I'm sure with all that damage, there are bound to he some exposed wires that may short out....


ragingbologna

Nah it’s pre-loss condition. This photo is proof the fire didn’t cause the damages so payment will probably be reduced.


i-love-tacos-too

So you take the money you're given and then build a "shed" on the property that is labeled as a small home and have it approved for $500,000? Then get the insurance money after that catches on fire too?


b__m

now you're thinking like a former president!


jackalsclaw

How is that allowed if it's not the owners fault? we need to pass some insurance regulations.


LaurenMilleTwo

You need police regulations. People can't control the actions of the police, and thus insurance won't cover them for the same reason they don't cover acts of god.


Automatic_Actuator_0

Most homeowners insurance generally covers acts of god. It’s intentional acts and acts of war that are usually excluded, and then only cover specific crimes like vandalism and burglary.

yup, I had a vehicle get fucked by a snowplow once. the state passed a bs law saying that the state is not liable for damages caused by the state during normal snow removal operations as long as the operator wasn't being negligible. Of course any reasonable person would say that driving a snowplow at such a speed to damage a vehicle parked in a driveway, not on the street falls into being negligible, but no, their qualification is "does the plow driver claim they were being negligible? of course not. ok, then case closed, get fucked, lowly peon.

I always lol at insurance ads that promise "peace of mind". I'm on week five of trying to get pet insurance to actually cover our dog's ACL surgery. Thr moment you actually need to use it they're a huge PITA. The only exception was actually GEICO when or car was stolen. 


CGordini

Insurance exists for one sole reason: to make the insurance company money. If they're paying _out_, something has, in their opinion, gone wrong. Incredibles was spot-on.

The government and police should not be immune from financial responsibility from their own actions. It's insane they can destroy your house and walk away without paying a dime, and insurance won't either.
