Not to mention the monetary costs of defense

Against all that it seems miserly to complain about the costs of destroyed, seized, lost drones, equipment, gates, doors et al that will never be reimbursed.

It's not miserly, rather it's recognizing the exact line the government steps over when causing harm and then refusing to compensate its victims. This is the longstanding perverse incentive that has led to this specific development, the murders of Pretti/Good/Taylor (et al), "can't beat the ride", forced plea bargaining, and so on. The very idea of sovereign immunity for executive/administrative actions needs to be wholly repudiated.

> in the meantime people rot in jail but i guess no harm no foul

Nobody claimed no foul. Constraining a problem isn't the same as saying it's not one.

What exactly have you constrained it to?
