If the conditions of your bail is that you do not drive an automobile and possess a fire arm, law enforcement cannot simply enter your home and search it absent a valid search warrant issued by a judge.
Meaning, for your home to be searched while you are out on bail, there has to be probable cause that you committed a crime for your home to be searched by law enforcement usually requiring the issuance of a search warrant.
