20 police officers entered a student flat without a warrant, but police are "unable to locate any Body Worn Video footage... as a list of... officers... who were assisting with the operation, was not retained"

Apparently "several learnings will be implemented" but it doesn't sound like anyone is facing any actual consequences.

Apparently the police & crime commissioner for Avon & Somerset, Mark Shelford (@ShelfordMark on twitter), has been asked to investigate, but he's not quoted in the article and I haven't seen any comment from him.

Note that this is not the same event as when police broke into a student's flat and handcuffed them in a state of undress, even though they'd got the wrong flat (and also faced no consequences), that was a different incident: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/17/it-was-humiliating-police-apologise-for-handcuffing-undressed-student-in-raid
