NEVER, never ever allow police to inspect anything without a valid warrant specifically covering the physical address they wish to inspect. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
"Get a frigging warrant if it means so much to you. I'll wait here. Your boys can get the hell off my property until you show back up with it."
The whole description sounds fabricated.
Cops are not your friend when they want to look around. You are 100 percent dead on target! Always ask for a warrant and call your lawyer while the warrant is being drawn up
As a rather delightful English fellow once said to me, concerning government (I wish I could type in a Cockney accent): “Tell the truth to those people and they’ll tyke ya’ to the cleaners!” (In the original it was more like the “clyners”.)
Homeschoolers are advised that too. The police do not show up because they are your friends!!!!
Sadly you won’t wait. They will detain you away from your property until they get said warrant.
Our property is posted. You come on without a warrant and you are criminally trespassing. Never let any regulator near your property without a warrant.

Build a high fence and use a gate that has to be opened, preferably an electric type gate with a remote when you leave to go to town/return.
And HIGH enough fences to keep peeking busybodies at bay too...
Abner, Abner, our neighbor is doing something....
