search & seizures rights void due to parolee friend?

My friend is a parolee. I have no priors so I do have my search and seizure rights, or so I thought. Apparently, I was allowed those rights when stopped in his vehicle(he and the car were searched-my rights were acknowledged when I refused them the search), yet at his house, they searched my personal belongings and said I had no rights when in the presence of a parolee, whether it be my house or his. What's the actual bottome line in the state of California?
How can I have rights while in his vehicle yet not in his house, both are in his presence?

You have Fourth Amendment rights as property and areas of the house that are exclusively under your control. That would include your own room, if you do not share it with the parolee, your purse, etc. If you share the entire premises with the parolee, then it is subject to being searched.

How about searching my purse, on my shoulder, yet in his bedroom?

Your purse is your exclusive property.

What if my friend who is homeless & on parole? Do the sheriff's have a right to come on to my property and force entry if the parole agent suspects her to be visiting?
