You have the right to bring an action against the police. However, you must file a 'tort claims notice' within 90 days of the incident. You must then prove your case. The burden of proof is significant given the 'protections' given police regarding negligence or mistakes. This can bw an expensive litigation and the police are skilled witnesses.
