The police can only search your house and property with a search warrant or with your permission. Contrary to the belief of most people, the police have no right to search your property for someone who does or doesn't live with you without a warrant.

Yes. If the officer has probable cause to do so. Example: He sees you with something illegal or stolen and you run into your house and and then he asks you to show him what you had and you do not. He has cause to search for what he saw you with.

Possibly. The circumstances can be complex and you should discuss the issue with a local attorney.

When can police kick in your door?

If the Police have a warrant to search your property, they have the right to forcibly enter your house if admittance is not granted. The same goes if they have an arrest warrant for you and you refuse to come out. They may also have that right if there is a crime in progress. If there is a high speed chase after subjects who the police witnessed committing crimes and the suspects enter someone's house, the police have the right to enter. Or if someone is holding you hostage in your home, the police can forcibly enter. They may also have that right if they have probable cause to believe you are in immediate danger or deceased.

Can the police go into home with out a warrant?

It depends on what jurisdiction you are in. In many jurisdictions, police are legally permitted to enter a premises whenever they have "probable cause" or "reasonable cause" to suspect that there is an illegal activity in progress (for example, if they could hear someone being attacked). Some laws also may allow police to enter a house without a warrant if they are in the course of investigating a specific crime.
