Got bail to go back early April. Anyone got any idea what I'm looking at?

On what basis did you let them in to the property??

Lawful arrest requires two elements. 1 A person’s involvement or suspected involvement or attempted involvement in the commission of a criminal offence; AND 2. Reasonable grounds for believing that the person’s arrest is necessary.

Here your arrest would not have been necessary and hence the police would have had no right to search your premises unless they had a warrant.

Suppose it is done now. What happened in April?
