Well, last night was dumb as shit

Asking for a search warrant would have been proper, but why make yourselves look more guilty? Just play their games and go back to bed.

Because they have no goddamned right to come into your house without a warrant and because the police, more than anyone else, have to abide by the law.

They should, but sometimes they don't. Here at JMU you are guilty until proven innocent. Its nothing new. Did they need a warrant? Yes. Would it have been worth being up the rest of the morning while they hold you there until they can get one? NO. At least not to me. Its like when a cop asks to search your car. If you say no...consider yourself fucked. Because the very act of opposing the search gives them probable cause to search you (with a warrant). I'm no lawyer...I could be wrong about that. But I have heard enough stories (which I believe) to know it happens.

I say write a complaint. If you are that concerned about it, now you have caught them in a procedural error. Calling them out on it before would have just made them do the right thing, which in the end leaves you in the same place you are now, but with less sleep.
