But lawyers for the government argued in Martin’s case that courts shouldn’t be “second-guessing” law enforcement decisions.
Bullshit. That should be a prime job of SCOTUS ... holding power to account.
And as always, ACAB.

Lmao the only reason there is second guessing is because there was first guessing. Guessing should not be an option in this scenario at all.
Second breakfast is much more enjoyable than second guessing tho.
But what about elevenses?
Not trying to argue against that. However a certain, REASONABLE, degree of room for decisions should absolutely be out of reach of courts. Otherwise you'll stall the executive branch on doing anything, from raiding peoples homes to assigning stands on a public fair.
Naturally the more invasive to constitutional rights the narrower that room should be and the stricter they need to be held accountable.
That being said, the USA is so far from being tightly regulated that this is even anywhere near that situation where the executive is crippled by accountability. If anything there are too few rules and to little accountability
When the government is invading peoples' homes, ENORMOUSLY increasing the chances of death for all participants, there is absolutely NO room for mistakes. They need to be 100% perfect, 100% of the time. And when they aren't, they need to be held accountable. No excuses are acceptable.
Inherent to the term "second-guessing" is that the action has already taken place and thus no one is stalled.
Can we require malpractice insurance for cops yet?
The agent who led the raid said his personal GPS led him to the wrong place.
Easy-peasy: add the GPS maker to the lawsuit and SCOTUS will know what to do to protect the job creator.
Same thing the guy who delivers my pizza says when he's taking my food to someone halfway down the block.
I used to live in a house that had the wrong GPS coordinates for iOS maps. This caused problems when ordering pizza. In my Android-only home, we would type in the address and it would show correctly. Had a friend do it on their iPhone and it would pick a location miles away. Very weird, and fixed within a year of us finding out about it.
I have to wonder how many locations like this are out there. I also have to wonder why cops wouldn't check local markers before barging into someone's house instead of just assuming the tool had to be right.
It seems pretty common. I used to hear stories like this from Lyft drivers all the time. You'd think police would have access to more accurate records.
They are both wearing glasses! C'mon! Didn't nobody show them men in black? Remember the training when they shoot the little girl because she's the obvious alien?... Carrying advanced technology books. I don't if that was right or not, I didn't write the god damn movie! Shit! All I'm saying is they're nerds. Nerds don't harm other people... Except for paid nerds. Paid nerds think its payback and make things like nuklier things and such. Ya know what I'm saying?
