I agree with your idea, however, there are counterpoints to make your point 3 unjust

Example. Jorge has a large lawnmower worth $9,000 in his garage. The lawnmower is stolen, and Jorge believes his neighbor Victor stole the mower. Jorge calls the police, informs them he believes Victor has the mower. Neither Jorge nor the police can find reasonable cause to search Victors home. Jorge breaks into Victors garage, takes the mower back, and goes to prison for breaking and entering.

Jorge's family depends on the mower for income, as he is a landscaper. Jorges wife sues Victor for damages to cover lost income, bills, grocieries, etc.

May this be just cause? One certainly might think so?
