Ok, an officer may make an entry into a home without a warrant in these cases:
1)Exigent circumstances ie a fight, a domestic, an overdose, or if the officer feels that there is some emergency to warrant an entry
2)Destruction or Removal of evidence (this may be one reason that they entered your home) If the officer feels that there is imminent danger that evidence will be removed or destroyed before a search warrant can be obtained, they can enter your home (if the officers felt there were underage drinkers and by getting a search warrant would allow the alcohol and/or drugs to be removed, they can enter your house)
3)Flight of the suspect (self explainatory)
4)Hot Pursuit- if an officer is in pursuit of a suspect and they run into a house
5)Consent, the home owner or someone in control of the house gives permission
6)If there is an arrest warrant with the house number listed on it, an officer can enter the home to make the arrest
7)Emergency Aid
This mainly covers all the areas where an officer can enter your home without a warrant

Not without probable cause and potentially imminent danger, or with a warrant.
The Fourth amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
However, with a house full of kids not knowing their rights, the cops may bust in anyway...

I believe that if there is fear that you may be inside the house, injured and unable to respond, or if a search warrant has been obtained are both circumstances which would allow an officer to enter your house without permission.

If it replace right into a occasion with a noise criticism they might go in. The warrant is needed for them to seek - meaning open up drawers etc. it particularly is obviously except there is something unlawful in undeniable website - then a warrant isn't needed. the two wayyea they might stroll in because of the fact it replace right into a disturbance and their workstation might have been they believed underage ingesting replace into happening. Warrants are actually not needed for that reason

Yes and No....I referring to the UK law. If an officer wanted to search around in someone's house he'd had to have a search warrant. If someone was having a house party they would'nt need a warrant if they suspected that someone was stashing drugs....but i dont the law in the US.

Yes, he could go in, it is physically possible.
The legality of such an entrance depends on whether there was anything visible or audible giving the police officer proabable cause to enter.

A police officer must have "probable Cause" to enter a home or private auto, have a search warrant or be responding to call for assistance.
