My question is, why were the police let inside? They did not need to be.
Matt brings up a valid point. It takes probable cause to enter a home. Often times officers will try to force themselves inside with some probable cause BS when they actually don't have any. Know your rights. I assume someone was at the door who was was frightened/caught off guard and let them in. Keep things that can cause probable cause out of view from the front door and never open your front door more than 6 inches. A wide open door is nearly an invitation.
I'm still surprised I've only had a handful of domestic disturbance calls to my place in the past (rare as my neighbors are cool) When it did happen though, I always made sure I got to the door first and shut it behind myself to talk to any officer. I wasn't quite 21 when I first got my house either. When I was 21, I still rarely had my wallet on my person since I was home, so if they asked for it I'd say sure, I'll go grab it from my room, but they didn't want to waste their time as they had more important places to be, so really I could have been any age.
As long as the owner (or I'll assume offspring of owner) knows to do this you'll more than likely be fine. If you treat the officer with respect you'll probably be fine. State that you are the owner and ask what you can do to help them. They'll say they had a noise complaint 99% of the time, so you'll have everyone quiet down or to go home. If they ask you any other questions, you can lie and state that you were checking ID's or not answer them. If they ask if they can look around, simply say no, but in a casual tone. Tell them you hope they have a good night and sorry for inconveniencing them. Simple.
