My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania.


My question follows like this: suppose a party is being thrown at a house with somebody sober at the door at all times to talk to police. If they walk up to the door for some reason (whether it be a noise complaint or routine patrol or something), what are the legal rights of the person at the door of the home (assuming he is NOT the owner or on the lease of the house).

1. If the officer requests to speak to the home owner, is he required to go inside and retrieve him? If not, what is a polite way to decline this request?
2. Assuming that the officer can see nothing inside the house through the windows or door (and can only hear music coming from inside), does he have probable cause to enter?
3. Is there anything else, generally or specifically, that the person answering the door should do or say?

Thanks.
