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.

The accusing party would be the authorities (prosecutor's office) if they have a valid warrant then they have the right to enter the premises.

All such matters are subject to the reasons of the action and the laws of the state and/or municipality in which the action is being taken.

What is the legal age to obtain permission to enter a home on a search warrant?
The way I understand it, if they have an actual search warrant for the premises, they really don't need to obtain anyone's permission at all, regardless of the age of whomever- if anyone- answers the door. As far as no search warrant and the police come to the door and ASK if they can look around, I am not sure if a minor or non-resident of the home may give it or not; I wouldn't think a four year old would be considered culpable enough to make and understand such a choice...Additional: The first answer is correct. It is not necesary for a resident to give permission to search, or even be present while the search is being conducted. If the police have a search warrant in their possession, they can enter the premises, even if no one is at home.
Can police apply for a special warrant that allows them to enter any premises?
In a multi-unit building or premises, perhaps. But a blanket warrant to enter ANY premises at ANY time - no. Of course, this discounts the possibility of Martial Law being declared. If that occurs, then all civil law restrictions become null and void.

Police can enter premises without a warrant in a number of different situations. Examples include:deal with a breach of the peace or prevent itenforce an arrest warrantarrest a person in connection with certain offencesrecapture someone who has escaped from custodysave life or prevent serious damage to property.Apart from when they are preventing serious injury to life or property, the police must have reasonable grounds for believing that the person they are looking for is on the premises.If the police do arrest you, they can also enter and search any premises where you were during or immediately before the arrest. They can search only for evidence relating to the offence for which you have been arrested, and they must have reasonable grounds for believing there is evidence there. They can also search any premises occupied by someone who is under arrest for certain serious offences. Again, the police officer who carries out the search must have reasonable grounds for suspecting that there is evidence on the premises relating to the offence or a similar offence.In other circumstances, the police must have a search warrant before they can enter the premises. They should enter property at a reasonable hour unless this would frustrate their search. When the occupier is present, the police must ask for permission to search the property - again, unless it would frustrate the search to do this.When they are carrying out a search police officers must:identify themselves and - if they are not in uniform - show their warrant card, andexplain why they want to search, the rights of the occupier and whether the search is made with a search warrant or not.If the police have a warrant, they can force entry if:the occupier has refused entry, orit is impossible to communicate with the occupier, orthe occupier is absent, orthe premises are unoccupied, orthey have reasonable grounds for believing that if they do not force entry it would hinder the search, or someone would be placed in danger.
Why is it important that a police should show you a warrant in order to enter your house?
The warrant is their legal authority to enter. When/If they show it to you, it's a courtesy-thing, and it's not really THAT important. They are NOT seeking your permission or asking for your okay - they're going to enter and search whether they show it to the occupant or not. As long as their entry is legal and authorized by the warrant, no one even needs be present at the premises they are searching. Customarily a copy of the warrant is left behind, signed and dated by the person in charge of the serach team.
