Legal Question in Constitutional Law in California

Right to privacy from law enforcement

Do peace officers have the right to harass, enter your home and search with the reason of searching for a warranted felon, who the officers said, had given your address as a place residence.Two days prior this incidence a probation officer had stated his records showed no addresses on his file and that he was listed as a transient. My daughter had dated the ''felon'' over a year ago. She has NO contact with the him even though he does continue to harass her, like doing lawn jobs at her other grandparents home and driving by her house every night trying to intimidate her. It was one her grandparents home that the officers did this search on. Anybody can use anybodies address without their knowledge, and the ''felon'' may have, not to our knowledge though. How can the sherriffs just come up in our home, showing no warrant, insisting they have the right to search and did exactly that, and of course found no one. The last time the ''felon'' was in our home my father hit him and told him to get out and not return because he had struck my daughter. This was over a year ago. The probation dept. and the sherriffs dept. are well aware that he's not welcome near here.
