And it dosent matter if you ask them nicely. People have rights and they are perfectly within thier rights to excercise them. I had an FBI agent come out to my place once trying to snoop around and he wanted to come in and talk to me about some things I had said online about Bush. He didnt really wait for me to answer his question about coming in and tried to sorta step by me into the house and I said "No, we can talk out here just fine" and I blocked the doorway with my girth and shut the door behind me. Some people consider this extrodinarily rude, but I dont really care. He had no business in my home and since he didnt have a warrent (I didnt even have to ask, as he would have volunteered this information when I tried to shut the door on him) he wasnt going in.
Get a lawyer and sue them. It sounds like they stepped over the line.

Nah. It's not rude. I've done the same thing when the cops come to talk to me about something. They try and walk in the door, and I always have my door cracked, with my foot behind it to prevent someone just walking in when I answer it.
I do not drink or do drugs, and there is nothing in my place that would get me in trouble. But by the same token, I do not need them coming into my place for any reason. They can either talk through the door, or I will come outside.
I've also had police who wanted to talk to me in the back of their car when they came to my place, and I refused that as well. They can talk to me standing there, or I will sit in my truck. Which I did. I answered all questions yes/no and when he started to get huffy, I provided my lawyer's name and number to call on Monday.
As for your property issue, I believe they have to leave unless they have probable cause that something illegals going on. I would double check that with a lawyer, or state law just to make sure. I dunno if I would go on to sue unless it because a constant annoyance.
