So when a cop, swat team, busts down a door because of a "informant" who may or may not have been vetted and ends up being the wrong address, it's ok
No, and this happens so infrequently that it is almost a straw man.

But a voice on the phone about a medical emergency is not ok. Seems the adrenial junkie call gets the go ahead. Are cops today really that obtuse?
No, smart ones don't break the law. I am not breaking down any doors based on a voice on a phone.

emailed this thread to a 20 year veteran of LE, friend of the family. His response, well, was [color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color]? And opined that if it were officers who worked under him, that they would not have a job after that.
Really, for doing what exactly? Not breaking down the door on shaky at best information? for not having X-Ray vison?

What's the difference between A caller wanting a health and welfare check and an informant with no evidence to back up his info and a caller in New York calling in a Swatting prank in California? Answer: the first does not get the door kicked in. The latter 2, cops trip over themselves to use the ninja gear. [color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color].
If I stipulate that you shouldn't enter a house without a legit warrant or being invited do you stipulate these Coppers did nothing wrong?
