Answer

You have a right to privacy in your own home. If law enforcement is to enter your home to conduct a search without your permission, they must have a search warrant or exigent circumstances must exist. The fact that you were not shown a search or arrest warrant, however, does not mean one does not exist. You will have to retain a local attorney to review the case to see what can be done. You also have the right to file a complaint with Sheriff’s Department regarding the conduct of the officers if you feel that they acted inappropriately.
