With her life in shambles, her personal property either destroyed or coated in a toxic film leftover from the tear gas, Shaniz—who was left homeless for months following the siege—sued to challenge the warrantless destruction of her home and property.
The officers defended their actions by claiming that they didn’t need a warrant because Shaniz had given them consent to go into the home. Amazingly, the judge bought the police’s defense.

I have seen a couple of cases like this lately. Why is it so hard to say, "Sorry, our bad" and make good. Stuff happens, and people understand that if you don't play this crap. There should be mandatory insurance required that covers these specific things. If you aren't the perp or aiding the perp, you get your broken stuff paid for.

Actually, this stuff happens quite a bit. That's why I said I don't like cops. Again, there are some good ones.
But this story is not surprising, as crazy as it is. Cops lie in court, they frame people, they plant contraband in peoples' cars, homes, and businesses. A good percentage of them are criminals.
Many are flat-out psychopaths.
