I cannot believe that the police are allowed to destroy private property and then not pay for it. One particularly egregious example is from Greenwood Village, Colorado[1]. If the destruction of property is necessary to achieve a public good, then the public tax fund should compensate the owners. If it was not necessary, then the individuals who made the incorrect decision to destroy it should be held liable. Under no circumstances should an innocent bystander have their house (or MRI machine) destroyed by the police and then be told that they have to pay for it. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrest_of_Robert_Seacat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrest_of_Robert_Seacat
