What happens if a police dog bites someone who is later found to be the wrong person?

Asked by Park over 10 years ago

All use of force, including a dog bite, is governed by federal and state law. There can be civil and/or criminal repercussions for the unlawful application of force. Graham v. Connor (490 U.S. 386 (1989)) is a landmark case that is instructive on this issue. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=490&invol=386
