Land Use & Property Rights
What’s happening? In Colorado, an armed gunman broke into a home, took a 9 year old hostage, and after a 17 hour police stand off the police “blew up” the home
So how does the home owner get compensated when a governmental entity, like law enforcement, destroys your home when you committed no crimes? There is no compensation according to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals
What’s special about this? Its like civil asset forfeiture, where both progressives and conservatives agree there’s a problem with taking an innocent person’s property without compensation
