10M was a stretch for sure, but a family in Jolliet recently got 2.9M USD for the police raiding the wrong house and quite a while back Dr. Lawrence Crosby got 1.25M USD for the police arresting him for the theft of his own car based on an anonymous tip, which is about as much “probable cause” as this case.
I don’t think cops are liable for damages even in a case like this.
Probable cause is a whole ass bitch.
Plenty of places would happily pay a couple of million not to find out
