Three rules for tonight
Don't let them in without a warrant
Unless there's a court order or a real emergency, you can politely decline entry and say you want to speak with a lawyer.
Say as little as possible
Confirm who you are. Don't explain, don't argue, don't sign anything. Every word goes into the report county counsel uses in court.
