If they have the wrong address, break in your door, do not identify themselves, and you shoot...guess what? $1 to a donut that you're going to jail.
Nah, you'd being going to the morgue, or a hospital if you're very lucky. They're already primed & ready for a fight, and they outnumber you.
I'm not a lawyer, nor am I well versed in the laws, so I ask this question:
If the victim ended up in the hospital, is there a law in place that protects the officer or the officer's employer from liability should the victim sue? Same question if the person ended up dead and the victim's family was suing.
The Officer acted in good faith based on the information that he was given. If that is indeed the case, it is most likely that he would not suffer any liability.
