Hey so I'm curious as to cops busting up house parties with a "21+ only" sign on the front door. Are they allowed to enter without a warrant and probable cause? I mean if there is no ganja being smoked or illegalities going on, just loud music and stuff, do they have the legal right to enter.
I know I have the legal right to refuse them entrance to the house if they don't have a warrant, but then that could give them probable cause to think there is something suspicious going on.
There are two reasons they would show up, noise complaint or making the rounds, but they usually stay away since there is a dead end.
Well, what do you think? Should I refuse them entrance if they request it or let them in in that situation. I'm over 21 and there is a sign that says "21+ only" but I definitely don't want cops in my house, especially with intent to search the whole thing.
