I already included how I propose this is handled - explicit law outlining that the liability falls to someone convicted of a crime.
> or the person who was convicted had ongoing permission to access whatever is involved
I don't see why this needs to be an exception, and also if it was an exception why it wouldn't just form another avenue of unaccountable abuse (eg imagine roommates. Let's say the police bust up a whole apartment for fun - the innocent roommates really should be getting compensated for that (they're innocent, remember?), and if that damage was necessary to effect the arrest/search, the govt can then recover from the criminal.
