Re: search warrent,
You are correct, they must have a warrant. I would have your attorney challenge the warrant on that basis.
Re: search warrent,
They are supposed to have the warrant with them before they search your house, unless they have permission or were in hot pursuit or there was some imminent danger. I'm not familiar with a no knock enter search warrant. Did they not even knock when they entered your house?
