If a police officer observes a criminal act in plain view, and it is not reasonable to get a warrant, he can enter, secure the scene, then get a warrant.
In some states, underage drinking is a misdemeanor, in other states it is just a forfeiture.
Even if it is a misdemeanor, it would depend on the District Attorney's policy. Absent an obviously drunk minor in need of medical attention, they may not think it is worth the time and effort.

properly, congratulations! You committed theft! Now they have evidence which you probably did it and used the money to purchase some thing. confident, you ought to be arrested. reckoning on the quantity of funds you stole, this is a criminal. The dollar volume is usually $3 hundred or greater for it to be a felon, in spite of the undeniable fact that it could selection via state, lots of which use the $a hundred volume by way of fact the dividing line. there is likewise a regulation in maximum states that calls so which you would be able to coach got here across materials over to the police and failure to take action could be a criminal offense in itself. ...and no, maximum folk does no longer try this. maximum folk have faith interior the concept we manage others as we'd desire to be taken care of and the majority might like their a refund alongside with the wallet. maximum folk attempt to do the final subject and not the selfish subject.

To answer your question, yes they could come in without your permission. The cop has a right to be on your property since they got the tip, and they can see a crime is being committed in plain view.

If you had a good attorney, he/she could argue that if the police observed drinking through a window, how were they able to tell the ages of people inside? If they knocked on the door and it was opened then I guess they could. Next time keep those blinds pulled shut.

Yes, if they can see a crime being committed they are likely to barge in without a search warrant. While you might be able to get any evidence seized suppressed, that doesn't mean you'll get any of it back.
If they really want to mess with you they'll get a quick emergency warrant and bust everyone and seize everything legally. Good luck if that happens and a crime was being committed, it's probably all admissible in court.

Yes they would because it's against the law for underage kids to drink.

They'll knock first, but not answering the door will not work out well for you.
Yes. They can come in without your permission.
