What is the name of your state? ------ victoria bc canada

ok on octocter 26 i was arrested for mischief under 5000.... and one the 27 the officer showed up at my place and asked if he could talk to my mother.... i was 17 at the time and i told him she was in the wash room, he asked how long she would be i said i wadsent sure then he said "can i have a look at your room" so i heitat but agree (keep in mind he has no warrent and im not the ower of the house) so he walks up the stair and goes into my room and look arround and points to my spray paint (i was arrested for vandalism) and says im going to take this while this is all going on my mother comes out of her washroom of of her bedroom and see him (we think nothing of this not knowing that it maybe illage search and sesier) and says is that all so i pile more stuff into the bads and box including paint markers caps ink and hes going tho my shelfs and pulling out the markers (this stuff was not realy evidence because non of it was used that night nor did he take anything that had my tag on it)

my question is is this legal my mother had not given him permision to enter the house or to search and he had no warrent and all he told me was he wanted to look at my room ( i was unaware i had the right to say no and was never informed) also the search took place while my mother wasent present as well as the items where not use in the crime nor where they used for anything illigal

thaks i look forward to what i get as a responce
