No, they may not forcibly enter your home without a warrant.
Let's say your music is too loud and they come over and knock at your door, you do not have to answer the door. It might be a good idea to turn down your music as to quicken their leave, but you are not required to answer regardless.

∙ 11y agoThere is no requirement to answer your door, regardless of who is knocking. If they have a warrant, they will come in one way or another and you may be charged with obstruction.

What are examples of legal warrantless searches?
An officer knocks on the door, and when the door is opened he sees prohibited matter. He would be allowed to enter and secure the evidence under the plain view doctrine. If in the course of securing the visible evidence he sees other evidence, that would also be allowed. An officer asks for and is granted permission to search by a person apparently in control of the premise.

What to do if someone keeps knocking on you door?
. If someone is knocking on the door, simply dont answer, If they keep knocking DO NOT OPEN IT OR ELSE! If they wont stop, call the police. I did it before and the person wasn't gonna hurt me, but the police made him go away. If you see someone looking in your window, or coming in your backyard, POLICE POLICE POLICE! Get a knife in your kitchen, and hide in a bathroom with a phone. Hopefully that answers your question. Thanks and hopefully none of that wont happen to you *Prayers*! Xoxo
