If they have 'probable cause' their entry is notunlawful, providing it is done in response to legal requirements and in a lawful means. There are several legal reasons for police to enter without a warrant (e.g.: 'exigent' [emergency] circumstances - fresh pursuit of a suspect - criminal activity being conducted in "plain view" - etc - etc). Afterwards they will have to justify their entry in court in order to utilize "the fruits" of their entry.
