Can a private investigator search your house?

No - a private investigator is not an officer of the law. Only a police officer or somebody given the power to search by a Court (such as a Bailiff or Justice of the Peace) can search your home. They will need a warrant if you refuse them permission. A private investigator holds no legal authority whatsoever and is basically just someone who you can hire to snoop on somebody else for you. If they search your house they may be breaking and entering or trespassing.


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!
