no, if they broke down your door they probably had probable cause or suspicion to do so....and factors include why would they do that for.

It depends. If they have a warrant for a "peaceful search" then that means they must access the building in question without damaging anything. If let's say the door is damaged in the process, then yes, by law they are required to pay the cost of having the door replaced.
If the door is damaged in any other circumstance that doesn't require "peaceful entrance" then no, law enforcement is not required to pay the cost of damage.
With that being said, it goes without saying that each situation is different and that is why the law allows leeway for final calls on matters such as these.

the project is that search for warrants are many times in line with unique investigations. the in reality time you ever listen about them is even as they do something terrible, like have someone die for the duration of an execution of a SW, or only flow contained in the incorrect living house. (both got here about in a unmarried incident some years again in NYC. ensuing in an intensive replace contained in the way those circumstances are dealt with.) I advise going to an legal professional or maybe perhaps going to the media - that they had love a narrative like yours (suitable reason to drop a stupid-superstar of the week hide tale). The seize is that if the police officials were gunning for you, and had rationalization for busting into your maxi-pad, suing the dep. could stress them to carry that data to ordinary. (FYI - only utilizing medicine contained in the living house isn't sufficient - assuming they were searching for drugs, they could imagine that someone at your residence became dealing). best of luck both way. also, to the poster who stated that the owner must have replied the door - this may were a SW w/a "no-knock" provision.

Well it would have to depend on the situation. If they had just cause then no. But if they broke your door down and it wasn't yours than yes.

Depends on why the broke the door down. If you are guilty then no they don't have to.

Why don't you just open the door for them, then they wouldn't have to brake down your door. You'll still go to jail either way.

If they were in the process of serving a warrant or answering a call for help, no.
If they went to the wrong house (wrong address listed on the warrant), maybe.

No. You would be responsible for fixing anything they broke while you were evading them.
Sounds cool to be a cop, huh?

Doubtful, even if they were in the wrong, I doubt they would pay for it.
