Can my friend who does not live at my home let the cops in.

If, at the time of the circumstances, the 'friend' appears to have 'care and custody' of the property, it is presumed that she has the right to allow entry to the officers. Your defense attorney can pursue their probable cause.... and access to entry.

OP contends that the friend did not have the authority to consent to a search of his house. When OP says "my house" I think he means she said "his house". OP believes that because the friend didn't say "our house" the cop should have realized it was not the friend's house and should not have conducted the search.

At least I think so.

But it doesn't matter. Your friend had the capacity to consent.

That's a matter for a court to decide. Your attorney can make a motion to suppress based on a lack of valid consent. But, don't count on that succeeding ... for a number of reasons.
