Okay nOOb. They definitely require a warrant. They cannot take the bail enforcers word for it and enter a home with out a warrant.
The bail enforcer has no legal or lawful right to be in the house.
The deputies erred in by answering her question “why are you in my house?”.
“well, ma’am, you opened the door”, on officer said.
Opening a door is not an invite nor is there implied permission. She did not give expressed permission and they are in error as well.
Hate to say but, the fellow they are looking for may have been in the house, at one time. However, without lawful reason no one has the authority to enter her home.
The bad guy will be caught eventually. Meanwhile she will be living high on the hog after she sues the bail bondsmand and the surety company pays.
Then she will go after deputies and the county they represent. The deputies will get a letter in their file and the countly will by her an upgraded mobile home. She will by a new Yugo, have it limousined and tricked out with dingle berries hanging from the windows and a bean bag chair in the back for loungin while drinking Mickey 40’s.
She will probably decide she is too fancy for the neighborhood she is living in now, due to her new found wealth and she will homestead in the Oklahoma panhandle or some other area where the tumbleweeds outnumber the residents.
She might even hire a banjo quartet for the weekends so she can hear her fav-ah-a-rite tune over and over again
See here for an example:

She might even start a little hog farm and have some pet goats.
But,... At the end of the day none of those men had a lawful reason for being in her house and searching it.
Let’s see...4th, 5th, 9th, 14th, unreasonable, bill of attainder, etc.
Post on and try to let us know more about the title. We are funny about that stuff around here.
The question we should be asking is "Was that house listed on the Bail Bond"? If so she has a weak case.
With all due respect, I think you are wrong.
Now, that was an informative reply. Thanks and FReepRegards!
In the state of Washington opening your door can be (and often is) considered by the cops to be an invitation to enter. Your best bet is to speak through the door like she did. Too bad she didn’t have a more secure back door.
In my home the person who illegally entered through the back door would be lying in a pool of his own blood and I would either be dead or in jail...
