They did not have permission of owner of property or residents permission.they were told to get a search warrant but continued to search without warrant and blocked the doorway so that no one could see what was going on.

Re: Is it an illegal search and seizure?

I would need more information regarding the facts surrounding the search. It is not clear from the facts whether you are the aggrieved party or not. It is also not clear if you are the owner of the premises, or the party entitled to possession.

If you want to discuss this further, please call.
