If they already have a warrant to search, then why give a crook the chance to arm himself or run? Break that focker down.

The only thing I could think of, but is really nit-picking, is that they pay to repair any damage done entering the property. (say they break down a door to search a crackhead's place - Stan shouldn't have to pay for the damage)

I agree on the element of suprise, but:
You choose to rent your house, you assume that risk.

excessive damages should be covered, so that the forced entry is not abused. Repairing onedoor, door frame, and nearby(1 ft or so) drywall is not too bad. anything beyond that is excessive.

Why are we always so quick to give the crook the advantages?

Because the entire justice system in this coutry is setup that way. The idea being we don't want to wrongly convict an innocent person, so it is better to let a few crooks go free. The entire justice system is setup to give every chance to the person accused that he/she is innocent.

"Innocent until proven guilty".

Not that I agree with it, but it is what it is.

It did happen to me, at the same house mentioned in my recent posts.

About ten years ago, detroit police kicked the front door down and raided the house.
They broke a closet door and smashed some of the kitchen drawers, why, I don't know.

After all was said and done, they told me they raided the wrong house.
Did I get any money for repairs, NOPE!
