> Very frustrating because the border guards would be very diligent about ripping everything up but they would definitely not help putting things back together again I've heard stories about police in the US doing this while looking for drugs.

Doesn't even have to be at the border. If a SWAT team in the US does a no-knock entry on a residence, but gets the address wrong, do you think that they pay for any damage from their forced entry?

  Yes, of course they do. Why on earth would you imagine they wouldn't?

    Because the victims don't have the resources to arrange legal help, is one possible reason. If you know of an area in the USA where the police have the capability to admit a fault, or punish bad apples in the force, please let me know because I'd like to move there. While stories of cops being fired or prosecuted are few, I have never seen a press release saying 'we fouled up and the settlement we offered has been accepted.'
