Ridiculous but doesn't even scratch the tip of the iceberg anymore.

We've completely lost the plot with our courts "strict" interpretation of laws.



Agreed. I think most people would agree the outcome here is profoundly unjust: this woman had her house destroyed with no compensation, and as a result police have no incentive to not go ballistic when a more constrained approach would suffice.

People can only be fucked over so much before they start to consider that the whole system is corrupt, including the courts. The only reason this hasn't been decided the other way is that it affects relatively few individuals, so it's not a rallying cry for most people.
