It’s a relaxing summer afternoon. You’re visiting family about 15 minutes away from your home. You locked your doors before you left, like you always do. Your three dogs are safely secured inside your house. All of a sudden you get a notification from your Ring doorbell security camera, at your front door. You see two police officers and some other stranger standing on your doorstep. They just busted the lock off your front door. They’re in the process of entering your home. You have three dogs in the house and you immediately have awful thoughts racing through your head about police officers and dogs. Not knowing what else to do, and having no idea what’s happening, you confront them using the doorbell’s audio speaker. They tell you that they’re there to evict you. You have no idea what they’re talking about.
This was the experience of Jennifer Michele of Land O’Lakes, Florida, in Pasco County. It was a complete surprise to her, given the fact that she had no knowledge of any eviction proceedings against her. She had been living there for 13 years. She posted this footage to Tik Tok, and it went viral. Here it is…

Bad cop culture in that county, people there would be best served by a lawsuit, hopefully the woman takes legal action.
It’s not hard it’s not a wrong house it was targeted and intended !!! There is no excuse now that it’s been put together !!! The brazenness of these racist men and their hatred is beyond normal comprehension the injuries and scars are not going away!!!
If you don't have the intelligence and skills for anything else you can always be a cop. Or a DHSurveillence clown.
The cops totally botched this. The correct address was on the paperwork. The funniest part is that one of these officers previously posted the eviction notice on the correct house and still came to the wrong house this day.
😮😮Why is it too hard to double check the address?
Get rid of qualified immunity, and require all police officers to be bonded. An insurance agent will weed out bad cops faster then IA. The bonds will cover the lawsuits, and the city can use the saved money to pay good cops more, and hire more good cops.
The cops immediately said they were wrong and started talking about replacing damaged property. I'm less inclined to be upset by this incident when compared to some of the crazy things cops have done.
It is called ignorance. This also happens way too often. This qualified immunity has turned into a "license" to destroy.
🐖👮🏼🐵🐷🙈🐷🙊👮🏻🐀
I would have double-checked the address before I started destroying someone else's property, but then I'm not a cop.
Shouldn't it be required that the officers involved be literate? Does it take STUPIDx3 to serve an eviction notice?
“Oh shit” – LOL! How the hell do you make a mistake like this? It’s certainly not the first time either. Qualified immunity needs to be legislated out of existence. There is zero benefit to society.
It's hard to beat crooks with badges when the people wearing badges and crooked judges with no common sense about the human rights when these assholes get away with this.
Bad job, officers.
Sue the city and department, incompetence is not an excuse of abuse towards our rights and the LAW…. they fail to maintain the law and also make sure they know the LAW we wouldn't see such dumb ass abuses of authority and retardation…. THIS IS CRIMINAL IN NATURE.
This is far from harmless, they broke into a house without making attempts at communicating. That's not anything lawful, that's like a criminal saying I intended to break into another house sorry you caught me. Let me continue on…
If a homeowner comes to the door with a weapon to confront a break in, you get shot by police, at times through the door or window, maybe get hurt or killed, and police get excused by qualified immunity, you get dead! What happened to free country! …innocent til proved guilty? …acountability? …serve and protect?
Pasco county is jacked.
At least they apologized.
It is amazing that the cops apologized. Normally they don't do that, especially if it was a drug raid. As long as the cops fix your door and anything else they broke or destroyed, I wouldn't get too upset. Now, if they didn't apologize and didn't fix anything, I'd be using my second amendment rights.
WOAH.. SHOCKER, people make mistakes…. Crazy right
There was a no-knock order to an apartment in Westboro, MA… The FBI went to the wrong apartment… scared the crap out of a single mom, wouldn't let her take care of her screaming baby..btw, she was not wearing very much… total BS!..The original suspect got away!
“We have an invoice for Tuttle, but a receipt for Buttle!”
Cops love to kill dogs just because they can…
I'm not sure that this is an unreasonable mistake. Breaking the lock was NOT reasonable, but so long as the police are willing to pay for the property damage, I don't see an issue.
30 or so years ago I had a job delivering news papers. I was a sort of district manager working in Contra Costa County, CA while my boss was based in Solano County (The next county North)
I managed 2 other carriers and part of my job was to get the papers from the printing press in Dublin back up to Concord.
The papers would become available at around 2am.
One day with the papers in the back I headed back to Concord when I saw a cop pulled to the side of the road with his lights on. This wasn't unusual as the police quite commonly had a drunk pulled over so I changed lanes and slowed down a bit but otherwise didn't think about the cop.
So I was really surprised when the cop threw something into the road just as I passed. I had no chance at all to miss it and I knew what it was the moment I hit it. A spike strip.
Even before I got stopped I saw why the cop had done this. Coming up behind me was bunch of cops chasing a white pick-up. The cops had spiked the wrong car. Perfectly reasonable. The cop had been told to spike a white pick-up so that's what they did.
Their was no trying to shift blame or anything like that, the police arranged for a tow truck and to replace my tires. They were getting close to worn out anyway, and they paid for tires quite a bit more expensive that I had planned to buy. They even delivered the papers to my carriers, and called my boss, explained what had happened and he arranged to have my route covered.
Surprised the hell out of my carriers when a cop car showed up with the papers.
I never considered this to be police misconduct. They made a reasonable mistake and they paid for the damages. Not sure it would go that way these days.
OUTRAGEOUS & CLUMSY!!! INEXCUSABLE!!!
"Reckless" is the perfect word to describe cops. They take NO CARTE in what they do, they just do iy.
I just had to unsub, cops accidentally get the wrong address….evil cops! Not all cops are bad like you portray.
Idiots !!! I wonder if the homeowner would have been justified in shooting them if she was in the shower and got out just in time to see a strange armed man standing in her bedroom. What if she was deaf or blind or both ? Imagine the terror she would have felt ?
Three of them there and NOT ONE OF THEM can read an address BEFORE they break the door lock? I'm sure they laughed about it afterwards. It's not funny to us, though.
Brainless corpses will still violate her rights by entering the home looking for anything to bring charges for covering up their ignorance of not even being able to read an address clearly posted.
They should not have Qualified Immunity for that, when they said "oops", it shows they did not even check if it was the right location and realized it only because she confronted them. They should be charged with Breaking and Entering, cause there is no way that can replace the lock without opening the door.
sad/moo
Wealthy people use police on the poor. The police are here for the wealthy and to murder the poor. Police protect money and land. Not humans . Why police are criminals.
