Plenty of places would happily pay a couple of million not to find out
Comment on Anon has an idea to get laid
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI don’t think cops are liable for damages even in a case like this.
Probable cause is a whole ass bitch.

10M was a stretch for sure, but a family in Jolliet recently got 2.9M USD for the police raiding the wrong house and quite a while back Dr. Lawrence Crosby got 1.25M USD for the police arresting him for the theft of his own car based on an anonymous tip, which is about as much “probable cause” as this case.

But the police raided the right house. They had all the evidence they needed for a warrant.

“All of the evidence they needed” was a big pile of absolutely nothing and nobody.

All the evidence you would need for a search warrant is someone openly saying they are manufacturing and actively seeking buyers. The suspect uploaded a picture of himself!
I have no idea what you think the bar for a search warrant is, but it is easily met. It’s a search warrant. Not an arrest warrant, not a criminal conviction. It’s just a search warrant. You seem to think a search warrant is some elaborate thing that takes a smoking gun to get, and it’s not.
