Court Says Family Can't Sue Over Wrong House Raid

This video analyzes a 9-0 Supreme Court decision impacting government immunity in cases of law enforcement error, specifically a wrong-house FBI raid. The Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement does not automatically gain immunity simply by exercising judgment, requiring them to demonstrate policy considerations rather than mere mistakes. The case has returned to the 11th Circuit, where judges are scrutinizing the line between policy discretion and operational failures, questioning how executing a warrant at the wrong address could be a protected policy decision. The outcome could significantly affect the ability to sue the government for operational errors.
