When Hidden Cam Catches Cops in the WRONG House | They Get Qualified Immunity?

He answers the legal questions. Here are my problems – or at least, a few of them.
I don’t believe cops should be doing any of this. Entering homes should be verboten, and the fact that our society allows such as this shows its sickness.
Next, the cops use pistol-mounted lights and muzzle flag literally everyone, or if anyone would have been in the domicile, they would have been muzzle flagging them. This violates the ruled of gun safety regardless of how cool you want to be.
Next, many cops are just plain stupid. He explains what it means to make good effort to ensure that you have the right home, including “reliable informants.” There is no such thing as a reliable informant.
Finally, my biggest problem with all of this is that the American citizen simply cannot trust it when someone announces that they are cops, or Federal Marshal, or anything at all. That has become a favorite tactics of criminals. But unholstering or presenting a weapon in order to secure your home from possible invaders is a sure way to get killed if the invaders are police (and I did use the word invaders).
As I said, the fact that we allow this sort of thing to occur is a sign of a very sick society.
