I strongly recommend that you consult with a local attorney who practices criminal defense law. As a general matter, your membership in a minority group will probably not do you much good in these circumstances. However, if the police have no warrant for any of the subsequent searches, there may be a problem (generally, a warrant is good for one search, not multiple searches at arbitrary future dates). An attorney may be able to assist you in resolving the problem. See an attorney.
