Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I was recently arrest for domestic violence. The facts are me and my wife had an argument and I left and she left. To our surprise her girlfriend called the cops and they came to our house. Neither of us were here they gained access to our home under rather auspicious terms, but that is not here or there. They located my wife at her parents and she said she wanted no assistance. At 3 am they came to our home banging on the windows and door for me. What was my rights.

If you are a suspect, you are under no obligation to speak with the police and you are under no obligation to let them into your home without a warrant.
