Can police enter a family home?
In the UK, police generally need a warrant to enter a private home. However, they can force entry without one if they have reasonable grounds to believe a person is in danger, to prevent serious damage to property, or to arrest someone for an indictable offence. Similar powers exist in Poland for urgent situations.
