The local police got a call about ATVs making noise (I live in the country), when they showed up the ATVs were gone but, the officers went on private property across the street from my home w/o permission and ran tags on vehicles parked there; one came back stolen.

Two hours later when the riders came back they loaded up and were leaving when the individual they were looking for that was in possession of an "alleged" stolen vehicle pulled in my driveway to turn around and thank my hubby for the "boys day out". He had gotten out of the vehicle and came in the garage to bid farewell. I had peeked out of the laundry room door to ask a question as they (hubby & friend) just stepped out of garage when 5 police cars drove in my front yard & driveway; Yelling, cussing and guns they took down 1 person that was changing shoes in the driveway, 1 person that was playing with my dog, hubby & friend, then came in my garage, kicked in the door and drug me out of the house in my undies. After they already had the "suspect" in custody.

I filed complaints requesting repairs based on the violation of my 4th amendment rights with the local mayor, the state troopers office, and the county sheriffs office, all who were called into to execute the takedown. I was denied any compensation for the damages to my home because, according to state police investigation the officers were acting to protect themselves from harm. Which is what the local office based thier denial on also.


It has come to my attention that the "suspects" attorney has had all charges dropped based on several violations of his rights and lack of evidence, but I have yet to be compensated for repairs of my door.
Do I have any recourse? If his charges were dropped because of the illegal execution then wouldn't the subsequent actions be just as illegal?
