And what about when the police make a mistake and go into the wrong address?

That's a different matter and dependent on the circumstances.

OK, Just wanted to get an idea where you were coming from.

I tend to agree that if the police have a warrant, and the correct address, there is need to announce but you don't give them 5 or 10 minutes before you go in.
