Without there being "eminent danger", probably cause (of a crime) or Reasonable Articulate Suspicion (that you have committed a crime) I don't believe their authority to even demand such or even question you. You ask them to leave, they gotta. They decline... Call the local office and tell them you're being harassed by an officer without a warrant.
I guess your first question should have been "Are you an officer?" Then asked to see his ID. No Warrant? "I've answered your questions

I told him no, and that I had never heard of that person. He asks me who I am . I told him I own the business, who the hell are you? I did not really appreciate a complete stranger walking in to my place and grilling me. He still does not tell me he is a constable, but he says he has a warrant for this person, . I tell him again, that is not me, and I don't know the person he is looking for. He asks me if he can see some ID. I did show it to him, but what I really wanted to do was show this arsehole the door. He saw that I was not who he was looking for, thanked me and walked out the door.
Do constables have the same power as leo?. Did I need to comply with his commands. Hey I know these guys don't have the easiest job, but I was a little put off by his attitude.
