Durham police used a battering ram to break down the front door of a Whitby , Ontario home.

The father says officers pointed a machine gun at him with projectors and pointed machine guns at him.

After a two-hour search of their home, they were brought back inside and presented with the official search warrant.

Durham Regional Police would not say why the family’s residence was targeted.

The family says the police had the wrong address and that they are still haunted by the raid.

The family feels their rights were violated and plans to speak with an attorney.

A judge will determine whether or not the police acted reasonably or excessively and whether your rights have been violated, says Boni .
