Thank you. It was a covert human research operation experiment rather than police enforcement, but it still bear some meaning on this issue. The government offered one victims family an out-of-court settlement of $750,000.
If the government release a virus and it cause damages, government might be found liable. Still, an out-of-court settlement is not exactly a predicate, so its hard to know what would happen.
