This depends on your criterion for "allowed". Obviously, if it qualifies as "unlawful entry" then it would be prosecutable in theory...but they are normally going to have the whole police department covering for them, so nothing would probably ever happen to them.
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.

VA doesn't seem to have a specific charge called "unlawful entry," although that may be the everyday term that police and prosecutors use to collectively describe one of several other crimes that VA has on the books related to the illegal entry of buildings.Some of those crimes are actually more serious than breaking and entering and some are less.Unlawful entry is the statutory crime of entering onto someone else's property without their consent by fraud or force. Unlawful entry is broader than, and is separate from, the crime of burglary which requires the breaking and entry of the dwelling of another with felonious intent.Statutes prohibiting unlawful entry were passed to protect the public from acts not defined under burglary."VA Code § 18.2-92 defines the crime of breaking and entering as follows:"If any person break and enter a dwelling house while said dwelling is occupied, either in the day or nighttime, with the intent to commit any misdemeanor except assault and battery or trespass, he shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony. However, if the person was armed with a deadly weapon at the time of such entry, he shall be guilty of a Class 2 felony.
How about; "Destruction of Property" combined with "Trespass/Unlawful Entry?"
Unlawful entry is related to the charge of trespassing, both of which hold the potential for a one-year jail sentence and a $2,500 fine. Trespassing charges apply if a person has entered the property, or land, without invitation. Charges of unlawful entry are applied when the trespasser enters a person's residence without invitation. Both of these charges are considered as misdemeanors. Unlawful entry is any type of entry into a person's home that is not permitted. If someone knocked on the door and forced their way in, wandered in through an unlocked door without permission or used a key illegally obtained to enter, these are all considered to be unlawful entries. People who have been convicted of shoplifting or another offense at a store or other public venue may face unlawful entry charges if they return to the property after being banned due to convictions. Those who have received an unlawful entry charge and feel it is in error may dispute it. Examples of this may involve indirect invitations to parties or other events or the lack of no trespassing signs on properties and homes that appear to be abandoned. Many times people who are hiking enter properties that are abandoned, but receive an unlawful entry or trespassing charge. Some of these may be disputed if there is proof of a legitimate reasoning. Charges for unlawful entry, as long as the intent was clearly not malicious, are often dropped over time as litigation simmers. Unlawful entry charges are often downgraded to a simple trespassing charge, which is normally dropped if there is no proof of malicious intent or damages to the property. There are several conditions to dismissal of charges, which may vary between states. After receiving an unlawful entry charge or trespassing charge, the offender should contact an attorney if the intent was not malicious. With reasonable evidence that it wasn't, the attorney is knowledgeable enough in the law to fight the charge, have it downgraded and eventually dismissed. Fighting a charge without an attorney or accepting it when there has been a mistake may result in unfavorable marks on a background check. Alternately, those who have trespassers or have been the victim of an intentional or malicious unlawful entry should press charges. Attorneys who specialize in torts are usually the first type to contact. Personal injury and torts are often the result of unlawful entry or trespassing incidents.
