And I never said 147 warrants I said 147 names
In England police dont need warrants ....welfare checks are covered by s17 PACE which allows police to force entry and search for and remove items that may be putting you in immediate danger. Immediate being the threshold but not answering door is held to meet that threshold if you are already considered vulnerable/ on their radar.
Given most police detest being used a mental health crisis workers and have little or no training they are often more than happy to be reassured on the doorstep that everything is OK . If come in just be over polite offer tea and they will leave very quickly.
're legality of possessing and buying SN in England has anyone got a quick link to the legislation ? Know illegal to sell unless certian conditions are met but these are mostly commercial thresholds and not under control of Drugs Act .
Links to above police powers only loosely as under s17 they can search and take but wondered beyond this what anyone could be charged with. Personally at point in life not bothered . But know for others it's an issue. And like Many said just holding can act as a safety net or security blanket or protect against more unreliable or violent methods.
