See there is few things to take note here. One, the police can careless about violating anyone's constitutional rights to release themselves of any liability and two, now the family will have to "sue" to establish they had rights in the first place. Finally, when they win we tax payers will have to pay the settlement.

Bureaucracy at it's finest.
You have a great point. I have several friends that are cops and I hear all the time about how they do things just because they have to in order to cover their asses so they don't get sued or if they do they are covered. Sadly, these things cause a lot of common sense to get thrown out the widow.
