That depends on the circumstances. In certain emergency situations, police can enter private property without permission and without a warrant. SWAT teams have no special authority, but they are more likely than other police to be dispatched during the types of emergencies that justify entering without a warrant.

Typically, no. The exceptions are permission or consent or an emergency situation.

An additional exception is if you are on probation and a condition is to submit to a search of your property without a warrant.
