It is not "you say you thought you could", it is "you have reasonable evidence a crime is happening".

The reasonable here is "google said it", and it was true.

If the police arrive at a house on a domestic abuse call, and hears screams for help, is breaking down the door done in good faith?

In this case you're correct. But the good faith exemption is far broader than this and applies to even officer's completely personal false beliefs in their authority.
