If I have a warrant for traffic violations can the police raid my home when nobody is home?

Under most state criminal procedure laws the police are required to have a warrant to search your home or raid your home absent exigent circumstances where they believe that a crime is or has been committed or if the police are there to arrest you.  If the police search your home a warrant is needed bottom line.  The exigent circumstances comes in to play when there is reason to believe that the evidence in the home is likely to be lost or destroyed if the police do not enter the home.  In this case, it would appear that the police came to arrest you if you have a warrant out for your arrest.  If you have a warrant out for your arrest you have committed a crime and the police may come arrest you in your home even if no one is there or lets them in.  If the police have a warrant they may search your home even if you are not there.
