How would you stop a swat team from...?

Ok, imagine if you will, that you belong to a minority and that you live in a small, racist town. Now, let us say, that you come under suspicion for a murder that you did not commit but the police, being corrupt, decide they want to finger you for the crime. Sadly, people have been charged with crimes they did not commit simply because the color of their skin---one merely needs to watch a few Lifetime movies to know this is true. But to get back to my story, see. Let's say they obtain a search warrant to search your house for the purpose of planting some evidence in your house (say the weapon found at the crime scene---maybe they intend to toss it underneath your mattress and are going to pretend to "find" it there. And you know they intend to do this and you know that even though your finger prints aren't on this weapon they intend to frame you with, it will be enough for the jury to send you away for life. Now, the question is, they're at your door, pounding and demanding to be let in. What do you do? The best thing I could think of, would be to have my lawyer there with me and I would demand that I be allowed to remain in the house while they search in order to record it on camera. Because legally, if they have a search warrant, you can't stop from coming in. What would you do?
