want to search your home the first and

only thing you should ask them is do you

have a valid search warrant signed by a

judge if they show you a valid search

warrant which you are fully allowed to

read and inspect and it is signed by a

judge and it looks valid to you with

proper dates and signatures then you

should contact your attorney or a

attorney if they let you prior to

conducting the search but if there is a

valid search warrant then you must let

them search your home but if they do not

produce a valid search warrant signed by

a judge then you do not have to let them

into your home and you do not have to

let them search any part of your home
