A statement made by the Force Public Relations Officer sparked a vigorous discussion on social media regarding police powers to enter homes without a search warrant.
The controversy arose when a video surfaced showing police officers forcefully entering a house after the occupants refused to open the gate.
In response to the video, users on social media criticized the police actions and questioned the legality of entering a property without a warrant.
Despite the backlash, the Force PRO defended the police’s actions, emphasizing their authority to enter a property where they suspect a crime is being committed.
The debate continued as users expressed differing opinions on the extent of police powers and the necessity of following legal procedures.
