Now doesn't that all sound like a one-sided story?
Whose duty is it to be without bias? To act with fairness and impartiality?

I think nowadays that is seen as more of an aspirational goal, rather than policy.

Currently?? Once that happens I think it's pretty final, not much scope to change in coming months!

After the general zeitgeist on a situation that arose on Friday.
A good friend had been out for a meal and upon her return home at 11.30pm got a knock at the door. Six of Surreys burly constables then forced their way into her house and started demanding she identify herself and everyone else in the house without ANY explanation. She has two boys, 12 and 10 and they were woken up with the ten year old becoming quite distressed at this commotion.
No warrant was produced, no explanation was given and through rather oppressive questioning it became clear they were looking for the previous owner who sold the house 11 years ago and is currently DEAD!
When they finally realised they had cocked right up there was no apology they just left muttering about the deceased suspect’s daughters address.
My question is under what law did the do this and what sort of recourse does she have to complain to Surrey Police (Letter to the CC in the first instance) and the Surrey PCC?
Make a complaint here;
The law allowing police to enter without warrant here;
Police Powers of Entry: Can They Enter and Search Your Property Without Permission? | Lawhive
While there are instances where police have the legal right to search your home or business premises, they must have valid reasons to do so under the law, and in most cases, they'll need a warrant.
Make the complaint and allow it to be investigated. The professional standards departments of each police force, do work hard and tirelessly to route out those who fall below the required professional standards required to maintain public confidence. The results of which are seen regularly in the news. If they weren’t actually working, you wouldn’t see police officers being sacked or misconduct hearings in the news.
An incident has occurred whereby those involved weren’t the subject of the investigation and in the cold light of day are confused by what happened. It can be shocking to have police at the door and allowing them in the house for a search to prove innocence can be a reaction that isn’t taken in at the time. It’s a regular occurrence for people to want answers to questions. So ask the question, if you aren’t happy raise ti the IOPC.
