What we know
In 2021, Georgia police aircraft allegedly destroyed $37,000 worth of legally grown hemp during a drug-suppression operation. Six years later, the Georgia Supreme Court revived the grower’s compensation claim, overturning a 60-year-old precedent that broadly shielded government agencies from property-damage claims when acting under police powers.
