2022 was a big year for both Carlos Pena and Amy Hadley. Separated by several states, SWAT teams left their properties in ruins while attempting to capture two suspects. In August, officers threw dozens of tear gas canisters into Pena's Los Angeles printing business; two months prior, law enforcement had done the same to Hadley's Indiana home before also destroying security cameras, punching holes in the walls, and ransacking the house.
Neither was suspected of a crime. They were, to put it mildly, unlucky. Which raises an unfortunate question: What is an innocent person owed when police wreck their property?
