What happens if the cops come to your door claiming to have a search warrant? First, ask for a copy of the search warrant. Sometimes, cops are sneaky and lie about having a search warrant, so make sure they actually have it.

Second, tell the supervisor that you do not consent to any search of a person, place, or item that's not included in the warrant. This can help incriminating items be thrown out as evidence if they were found during an illegal search.

Lastly, invoke your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. Do not answer any questions. Just stand there and respectfully remain silent.
