Question

can the police go into my rented room for any reason with out me saying they can



Answer

Like all good lawyers, I'll say that it depends on the circumstances. Do you have a lease? Were you present when they came in? If so, did they ask for permission? Were there exigent circumstances, like a fleeing felon? Did they have a warrant to search the whole house? Did they have a warrant to search your room specifically? Did the property owner grant them permission to enter the house? There are a lot of circumstances that would allow the police to enter your room without a warrant and those circumstances would depend on the facts of the situation. Without more information, there is no way to give you a definitive yes or no answer. If you think you have civil case for violation of your rights, you should contact a lawyer in your jurisdiction competent in police search and seizure matters.
