Must be behind on their quota.

Yeah I mean it sounds like they absolutely did have a warrant and a literal car crash is not some kind of minor “ops teehee” kind of incident and society needs to have some method of responsibility to function

but yes in general I agree ACAB and wouldn’t be surprised to see the cops were huge violent assholes about the entire thing unprovoked

Is there no consequence to pigs storming in without a warrant?

Not sure if this is a serious question or not, but nope, there really aren't for most civilian homes and interactions. Things can vary slightly depending on the the state or municipality, but the moment you open the door for them they are legally permitted to be inside. The legal bar is really low to manufacture pretext for anything else they want from that point forward. Cops can lie through their teeth and say whatever they want to get you to open the door and will threaten every aspect of your life in the process usually.

Warrants are generally only used when they want legal permission to bust the door down or if the person has some sort of legal, capital, or political influence.
