Fucking bullshit. Assholes left my house in shambles, door all fucked up, etc. I am still trying to find a good attorney to take my case.
Did they take anything as evidence? If yes, that's a sign you're probably still an active suspect.

It's common in many criminal cases for the authorities to investigate for many months before bring charges - suing them may get you nowhere unless the authorities acknowledge they made a mistake / had no reasonable cause to raid your house.

Since you mention having a criminal record, are you currently on parole?

If yes, that may weaken your legal position, since people under court supervision often have less legal rights / less leverage; the authorities can play the "He violated parole." card to justify their actions.
