Yes, but the OP also says she was quite willing to let the police in, without them causing that amount of damage to what sounds like property owned by the state. What gives the police the right to behave like that when someone is on the other side of the door prepared to open it for them?
I'm sure, given all the intelligence they had collected they would have realised the son wasn't there AND she was not a drug dealer. Did they find any drugs? No.
OP, you should claim compensation from the police for their botched raid.

If she was willing to let them in - why did she not just open the bl**dy door? There was no-one in the house stopping from from so doing - unless it was her drug-dealing son.
If it took the police 3-4 minutes USING A CHAINSAW(!!!) to open it, it must have been reinforced ...which is how drug dealers normally protect their stuff.0 -

The OP says they used the chainsaw to cut through the door chain. :rotfl:

They're just going after the small fry to pander to those on the estate who were whinging about their estate being a drug dealer's paradise.
I wasn't going to bother my !!!! replying to this but hey ho ...
What the hell do you know about Churchill Gardens Estate ? The estate has had a reputation for years. It is a cesspit full of drug dealers and gangs who run riot. Gangs use knives.

The link above was a 16 year old killed by a gang ''wielding swords and knives'' on Lupus Street.
And you say residents living there are whinging and that police are pandering to that whinging ? You are unbelievable.
