I understand that we had every right to refuse them entry. However we had 3 kids at home and have always taught them to respect authority if you have done nothing wrong. We are a veteran family and love our country. We believe all police deserve respect unless the situation deems differently. We had nothing to hide and the officers were as annoyed as we were.
You are a good parent to teach respect to LEOs. It's a TWO way street - you must teach your children their rights as well - so no warrant, no looky.
Of course you will extremely polite about it as well. Good lessons.
