Police search of unsecured home UK

[joeythinks]

My home was searched by police after they received a tip from Canadian authorities that I'd bought SN. Unfortunately, my back door was unlocked - they accessed this door through my neighbour's property.

The SN came from IC.

The SN is gone. My AE is gone. They didn't seem to realise what they had meto-wise. They said Canadian authorities tipped them off that I'd bought SN and described the SN as a "kit". If you have AE too, keep it separate.

I'm a bit shaken - and I'm sure I'm on a list now - but I'm not in trouble.

Sorry to hear that. I am lucky I was home so that they didn't have to go looking for it.

Now what are you going to do?

I don't understand, are police in the UK just allowed to come in your homes and search without a warrant etc? This is insane. I'm so sorry.

I am very lucky too. My housemate owns the home I'm in and they're on holiday. It would have been so much worse if I had to explain the police visit to them.

What am I going to do? What can I do? Hope I feel a bit better in the coming weeks I guess... What can any of us do?

This is what surprised me the most. I can only suppose that if the police are concerned about your welfare then they're allowed to bust on in?

Question, could I get in trouble for saying I flushed the substance if they found out I lied?
I just improvised as I didn't want to be sectioned or them to take away my "safety net"

I don't know for sure, but I think if you framed it as "I was just scared of getting in trouble" you might be ok. If you still have it just hide it. Mine was sitting in a cupboard waiting for them - be more inventive than me

If they have visited you already then they probably won't be back but lay low cuz we're on their radar.

How can they just go in like that? I'm not really familiar with uk's law so I don't know and you can correct me but isn't it outside the protocol? I don't think they can go inside without a warrant.

That really is so horrible, all that those people are doing is leaving suicidal people no choice but to resort to more risky and painful suicide methods. It's so disgusting how they make people suffer even more, they should just leave suicidal people alone and let them die in peace.
