You need to ask a local MN lawyer. My opinion would be that if they did not have a search warrant, the needed the consent of someone who had control over the premises to authroize the search. This could have been another resident of the house, but this area of law is tricky and fact driven and you really need to have a local lawyer examine all of the facts in order to have a sound opinion.
