Hawks raid the wrong house in Bryanston

Don't they know that Google maps only gives an approximate location :D
 
No, the state is not liable if a properly constituted document was signed by a magistrate. Her insurance co might pay, but this is very iffy since the damage was caused by a legitimate process by the Police. Whatever we might think, the law has to be obeyed

Stuff happens
Years ago my sister and her husband was in a restaurant robbery in Northcliff.
Very traumatizing, but no one was luckily injured. The next day my sister starts arranging all the claims for their losses, jewelry, watches, phones etc. And she phones the Northcliff police station to ask for the case number for the Restaurant robbery/hostage situation they were in the previous night. The desk sergeant was very helpful, asking for her address and phone number, telling her that someone will be phoning her back soon with the case number.
Now at that time she was working from a home-office at her house on top of Northcliff - beautiful view of the city skyline.
So she gives them the address and the officer assures her someone will be in contact as soon as possible.

Half an hour later the gate intercom rings. Her husband, who had taken the day off to recover from their ordeal, answers it and its a police officer. He was a bit surprised that someone drove over with the case number, but walks out to meet him and calls their dogs together as he opens the gate using his remote.

And walks into a heavily armed task force team pointing their rifles at him. They had been called in to respond to a robbery/hostage situation at their address. Police helicopters, closed off roads, snipers, the works.
I don't know who was more angry, my sister, or the task force commander. My poor brother-in-law had to be sedated.

That was the last straw, after that they decided to emigrate to the US. (A few months after moving to their new house in Atlanta they were almost raided by a SWAT team. Seems their new fax machine was repeatedly calling 911. I can't make this stuff up if I tried.)

Idiotic comment.

Have you even glimpsed outside of your narrow view of this world ?

Have you heard of a country called America ?


People like you are the problem.

Happy?
