A few officers showed up at my house. I stepped outside.
They told me that they had received some 911 hang-ups from this address, but I don't have a land line, so the calls didn't come from here. They said the calls came from a woman. Hah, definitely not one of those in my house.

They wanted to enter the house and take a look around to make sure I was the only person. I refused entry on the basis that I'm the only person living here, and I don't even have a land line. They had dispatcher check out the call again.

While waiting, they tried grilling me as to why I wouldn't let them in. I stated that it was "my home", and I appreciated what they were trying to do for this woman, but they simply had the wrong address, therefore I didn't see a reason to let them in since I was confident they would find out this is a mixup.

One guy asked why I was acting so nervous if I had nothing to hide, and said "you could be growing marijuana in there". I laughed, and pointed to my dead tomato plants out front (I have no idea why they died) and said I'm not the green thumb type. They just nodded, didn't push the topic at all.

Dispatcher came back and I heard her clearly say over the radio "the call was actually from a MagicJack" in another town entirely (I assume it was a recycled number that used to be at this address). They pretty much said ok, asked me what I did for a living, then took off.


My question is this: Since I denied them entry, is this grounds for a search warrant, or even just grounds for having officers poking around my residence?

And I don't know much about the MagicJack, is it entirely possible that this really was just a mix up? Or should I be concerned that this is some kind of weird knock and talk tactic?

My parents are the only people who know where I live. Nobody comes over except for them. I've only been here a little over a month. And absolutely nothing here is in my name.

Am I being too paranoid?
