The police can enter your residence to serve notices and any type of warrant, a material witness order, an arrest warrant, or search warrant and can break in your door in the event of "exigent circumstances," maybe a middle class white guy could get away with this at times, but in general the police can cause you great difficulty when you deny them entrance when it's requested. You had better be damned sure of your legal ground before obstructing actions of the police, it can go wrong badly and fast in a confrontation with them... Also, you had better have some credible witnesses or an excellent record of the incident because you will be challenged by authority in any instance of obstructing police officers in their duties.

Without a warrant police cannot legally gain entrance if you deny it to them. NutmegYankee Sep 2014 #27
