"On what grounds are you searching my home? Do you have a search warrant?"
Charlotte Cooper asked, her voice neither low nor raised.
The police were taken aback. They didn't have a search warrant. They looked at each other and then at the person in charge.

Charlotte did not miss the look in their eyes. She took out her cellphone and dialed a number. "If you want to search, go ahead, but I would like my lawyer to discuss it with you first."
She briefly explained her situation and then handed the phone to the leading officer.
After some hesitation, he took the phone.
