Re: Search of property
Thank you for your inquiry.
An officer's warrantless entry into your home is only justifiable under a few exceptions:
1) If the officer is at your home and sees evidence of criminal activity in plain sight he may enter the property.
2) If the officer has emergency circumstances requiring his entry to prevent physical injury or harm he may enter the property.
It sounds as if you have been charged with a crime regarding this search. My office does represent individuals in all criminal matters. If you desire to speak to an attorney contact my office for a free consultation.

Re: Search of property
That sounds like an illegal search unless confirming evidence of the crime was in plain view from the outside.
