Do the police have the right to do Search and Seizure?
Under the Constitution, which is the law of the land in the USA, Search and Seizure is legal when the police have received a search warrant normally signed by a local judge. There are some situations, depending on the jurisdiction (where the search takes place) in which the police don't require a search warrant signed by a judge.

If the police want to search your home, and they do not have a warrant to do so, then you have the right to refuse to let them search your home. If they do so without a warrant, and without your permission, then anything they find cannot be used against you, since the evidence was obtained illegally.
