Can police search your house when you have a warrant for your arrest?
yes
My boyfriend has a few warrants if they were to get a search warrant at his house and i were there could i get arrested also?
The short answer is no. In order for the police to search your boyfriend's house, they need to obtain a search warrant from a judge or magistrate where they demonstrate that there is probable cause that evidence of a crime in present in the house. If the police execute an arrest warrant, they can only search the reaching area where your boyfriend is found and conduct a protective search of areas in the house where a person can hide. Unless you have nothing to do with any of his criminal activity, then they will not and cannot arrest you. If they come to the house to arrest your boyfriend, just say nothing and do not impede what they are doing. If they believe you are engaging in any sort of criminal activity, they most likely will arrest you just to have leverage over your boyfriend. The larger question is what the hell are you doing with someone who has a "few" warrants out on him?

Police with an arrest warrant can enter the home of the person named in the warrant if they have reasonable grounds to believe he is on the premises. They can search the premises in any place the accused person would be able to hide (they couldn't for example, look in the drawers of a nightstand, because no one could hide there). Police have to get a search warrant to enter the house of a person other than the one named in the arrest warrant.
Is there any form of arrest more loose than house arrest meaning that the person can not leave the city or the neighborhood?
It is quite common for the police to tell someone not to leave town, but that is not considered a form of arrest. It just means that the police think that they may need to talk to that person and they want him or her to remain easily available.Added: "House arrest" has nothing to do with an arrest by the police. The police cannot order you to remain in your home or on your property on their own authority."House Arrest" is more correctly described as "House Confinement." It is done by an order of the court and is a lenient method of confinement which restricts the individual to a certain small geographic area, monitored either by irregular visits of an investigator, or by some form of electronic device.To address the question: No, there is no more 'loose' confinement than this method.
If a parole officer smells marijuane at a house arrest home what is the scope of his search?
The whole house. If he smells marijuana, he has reasonable suspicion. As the supervising officer of a probee, he has police authority. With this he can conduct the search. If he finds anything in the search (be it a single seed) he has probable cause and can take the probee into custody. He can additionally hold any other persons in the house for law enforcement and affect arrest when they arrive. Don't poke the bear!
