A judge may issue a search warrant as part of a criminal investigation by law enforcement. It grants police officers the right to enter a particular premises in an attempt to gather useful evidence when a crime is believed to have been committed. And, not surprisingly, police officers are not known for announcing when they will be performing their searches in advance. Because of that, many people are taken by surprise and left with very little, if any time to react when law enforcement shows up demanding entrance.

What if I refuse to allow my premises to be searched when the officer has a search warrant?
Don't do it. Once a judge has issued a search warrant, the search will ensue with or without your blessings. Stay out of the way and comply as politely with law enforcement as possible.
What if I interfere with a search that is warranted?
If the police show up to search your premises, and you attempt to interfere with them, they will very likely restrain and arrest you. Instead, pay attention to what they do and remain calm.
