Re: Illegal searches
The Search Warrant legitimizes the entry into your house in your absence. You should have been given a copy of the search warrant. The warrant should have been specific with respect to the things, items,objects etc. to be searched for and seized. The answer to your question is yes it is legal. Additionally, upon your arrival to your house, the police generally don't allow anyone to enter while they are searching.
