Imagine a SWAT team raids a house-battering doors, breaking windows, and coating everything inside with tear gas residue. Now imagine the SWAT team had the wrong address. Who do think would pay for the damage? If you said insurance, you’re probably wrong. If you said the city, you’re probably also wrong.
Today, IJ attorneys Jeff Redfern and Dylan Moore talk with us about this nightmare situation facing homeowners across America - and how the Institute for Justice is fighting to change it.

@vidshadow8919 Месяц назад

Also proves how insurance as a whole concept is a scam. not a single insurance in the world can monetarily sustain itself while actually providing the coverage they claim to offer. The fact that any insurance is government mandated should also be illegal.

@AMERICANPATRIOT1945 Месяц назад

@@vidshadow8919 , You do make an excellent point. However, consider what would happen if drivers were not required to have insurance for their cars. Some drivers cause accidents due to their own negligence or just being human. Not all of them are capable of paying for the damage they cause. is it really fair that their victims should bear the brunt of the costs? Or we can just mandate that anyone who wishes to drive must self indemnify by any means available, for at least $100,000.00 worth or even more. Then only the upper middle class and the wealthy would be able to drive. There are other, similar activities that also require insurance as well. There is a reason for requiring health insurance, too.

A lot of this, IMO, is the romanticizing of CQC (Close Quarter Combat) in law enforcement and the military (Spec Ops community). There's of cool factor in doing these type of operations and dressing up in tacti-cool gear. Unlike, the movies, very few end up in gun fights like you would encounter in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's a necessary skill but must be used with extreme caution... for the safety of innocent civilians. Why do you think there's a thing called SWATTING? It's because they know how zealous the cops are to put on their tacti-cool gear and wreck havoc upon "the threat".

Some rando seems sketchy and you think he bears investigating but you don't have RAS? Why not hang out and watch instead of baiting a lawsuit and escalating things immediately for ID?

A warrant is executed and during the search the house is trashed. I mean trashed. Dishes raked from counters and tables and broken, drawers emptied on the floor and things getting broken and strewn about. We've left houses and they looked like absolute hell is left in our wake.

The trolls are behind layers of anonymity. It's the same obfuscation that credit card fraudsters use. Short of creating licenses, permits, regulations, and registries to own a computer, use the Internet, and making the building and/or modifying of a device a felony. Good luck getting a vote with that on your platform.

Did I get lucky? I sued NYC in 2013 in small claim court when city's Parks dept contractor destroyed my sidewalk while removing a large sidewalk tree stump, and won in arbitration. NYC Comptroller office played dirty. it waited until last week of an entire year, and denied my damage claim. It pissed me off so hard.

Well, ignorance of the law is no excuse, and if im an escape driver and some other guy committed some crimes, i would be charged with them too. Government needs to be held to a higher standard.

How would this case be different if instead of the dog being left deaf and blind it was the daughter or the hostage? These were excessive force against a dead suspect and an innocent family. Why do they arrest people this way when they don’t know who is inside?

Going to the right house seems like it would be easy for LE to figure out. Just order a pizza sent to the address and follow the delivery person. I guess following the delivery person without losing them could be a challenge that SWAT might have a problem with.

I just talked to five officers from five different municipality and they all know the city will not pay for swat damages they have cards for citizens to call for damages it goes right to a law office of their insurance company the attorneys take the damage clame from citizens then tells the insurance what to say on clames over certain amount it goes straight to denial and lower than that amount a certain percentage is offered like 20% is original offered then negotiations above that amount if a attorneys are involved then your original amount may get paid but now you have to pay for your attorneys fees which is all most the same as what you were asking for

In the case with the apartment being on the third floor, where the police unable to contact the landlord or review building permits and or real estate transactions. I'm having trouble believing they couldn't figure out that was two apartments and which one was which.

Are insurance companies forced into not covering government damages?? Seems odd to exclude. After paying the claimant,insurance companies go after the guilty party for compensation. Seems another way for government to be unaccountable.

@avsystem3142 Месяц назад

As described in the video, homeowners insurance policies almost always have coverage exceptions for force majeure damage causes.

@kilgoretrout4461 Месяц назад

It would be similar if a cop seizes your vehicle in the middle of a police chase in order to stop the suspect yes? So the cop wouldn’t be liable but the city/county would be liable. It’s preposterous that cities don’t automatically recognize their liability. I can guarantee that if the police destroy the mayor’s home in an identical situation, the mayor guaranteed would be immediately compensated. Or a city council member, or a police officer’s home, or the DA’s home. That is what pisses me off most about this. Is that they exclusively don’t compensate people they don’t deem to be important enough or people they don’t believe can afford to fight them in court.

@lil_kozy7773 27 дней назад

the solution to this is easy, Police departments should be REQUIRED to have insurance in the event they break the wrong door down, and an increase on their rates everytime they claim. If they force me to have car insurance ill force them to have wrong house insurance!

@mikeloeven Месяц назад

I would argue that the best way to tackle this is for the FTC to step in and make a rule saying insurance cant exclude damage done by the government anymore. Make insurance do their actual job. Ignoring that tear gas is technically considered a war crime under the Geneva protocol why is it still being used against civilians by law enforcement in the first place?

@vidshadow8919 Месяц назад

Wny should the insurance company cover the incompetence of police? All of our premiums would all DRASTICALLY spike if this were the case. no, police just need to be smacked down and HARD. People, why are we paying taxes? Thats what funds these animals. Maybe we should all take a minute and think about where our taxes are going. Are you paying your taxes to fund this kind of behavior? No? put your money elsewhere.

The basis for the implied exception is that the judge is misapplying and cherry picking case law in an attempt to negate a novel and effective argument.

If you take a hostage or something and its your house that the police damage, fine. But if it's a completely innocent party with no legal fault in the situation, the government ABSOLUTELY needs to pay up. This is ridiculous.
