Please visit www.campaign4justice.com for further detail on this police harassment.

No warrant = No entry

This video documents the unlawful forced entry to a domestic property by officers Detective Stephen MacDonald and Sergeant Gareth Blackburn of the Metropolitan Police. This occurred just 5 months after an upheld IPCC judgement against an officer in the London Borough of Hillingdon who had also forced a trespass into this home.

The video you are seeing was declared unlawful in court on the 19th of May 2009 by agreement with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) who stated that 'DC MacDonald and PS Blackburn did not act in accordance with Section 17 of PACE when they entered Mr XXXXXX's home'. Later the Independent Police Complaints Commission stated they didn't think this entry was lawful.

(Section 17 of the Police and Criminal Evidence act details the powers of entry for the police)

This will therefore be the second unlawful entry to this home by officers of the Metropolitan Police. (Hillingdon division)

  • Bit of home truth, you should all get your facts right.

    If police believe someone who is wanted for a police investigation, interrogation or an outstanding arrest, they are allowed to force entry into premises if they have strong reason to believe the suspect is inside. What better reason than seeing the suspect at the door.

  • @DarrenHuseyin1 Dear Darren, you are sadly deluded, I am wondering where you obtained your law degree, or are you one of these 'know-it-all' police officers the public must suffer?

    For wrong you must be as this has already been held to have been without lawful authority in a court of law in the UK. Is that enough for you and your home truths?

  • Harassment is only a summary offence therefore they cannot enter the premises without a warrant. Police can enter under S17 for indictable offences.

  • @MrMoorde Completely correct - without a warrant or invitation into the home, this is unlawful entry.

  • I dont understand why you even opened the door.

  • @thegroove2000 me too mate. Next i'll take the advice and leave the door shut. They have proven they have no respect for the law

  • damn COPS IN BRITAIN ARE doing the same shit as us cops>>>

  • @iBeep2009 There was no warrant. The police simply forced an unlawful entry to private property and as you see used violence to terrorise.

  • @yesiamanalien agreed, a good piece of advice DO NOT OPEN DOORS to police. You might be interested to know part of this matter is now ongoing at LUTON CROWN COURT 28th of OCTOBER 2011 at 10am in relation to a charge of 'perverting the course of justice' against a member of the police.

  • Rule 1: Don't open doors or windows to police. If they have legal reason to enter they will force entry by busting down your door. If they bust down your door illegally then you have a case.

    Rule 2: Film everything. Judges always side with the word of police unless you can provide evidence to the contrary. Even then it needs to be as much evidence as you can present.

  • @Frank54175o You joined just 3 days ago, only made comment to this video, all indicative you're associated with the police from this video. Indeed you comment is totally at odds with all that have watched the material. Quite simply, the police entered unlawfully, for those with lesser IQ, this means they had no business being in this home.

  • I think the police did a great job. He sounds like an argumentive tosser.
