A: If the police entered your house without showing a search warrant, you may have grounds to challenge the legality of their actions. Start by documenting everything that happened, including the names of the officers, the date, and the time of the incident. Visit the clerk’s office again to confirm there is no record of the warrant and obtain written confirmation if possible.

Regarding the false statements on your criminal background, gather evidence to prove the inaccuracies. This might include court records, police reports, or any official documents that contradict the statements. It’s important to address this promptly, as it can have significant implications for your legal situation and future opportunities.

Consider consulting with an attorney to discuss your options. They can help you determine the best course of action, whether it’s filing a complaint against the police, seeking to correct your criminal record, or taking other legal steps. This will ensure your rights are protected and you can effectively address these issues.
