I don't htink I would be arrested, it's a public building and he was let in (or I would be) by a custodian therfore no trespassing. He was on break, it was not an official visit, he could have been turned away.

Except you wouldn't be let in by the custodian, would you? The police officer was let in because people believe that police officers have the right to go anywhere they want.
Police do this all the time. They go to an apartment building and the stupid super just lets them into your apartment. This happens all the time. Now, the evidence wouldn't be admissable in court, but it still happens.
We have rules, and they're designed to protect our rights, you see. My rights, your rights, and even the rights of a socialistic teacher.
The police officer was not on any official business. He was not responding to a police call. He was on his own personal business, but while on duty.
Either we protect the rights of those we don't like, or our rights are meaningless.
