They have to give you a reason. And yes i have let a cop search my home after asking. He had a good reason. If the officer didn't have one, or a warrant, i probably would not allow him inside. Everything always depends on the situation and if it is handled in a non-assholeish manner.
The officer had a reason to be in the house in the case of this professor. Staying? That's something else, but it may have had something to do with the way the professor was acting toward the officer that provoked a longer visit. Who knows.. maybe the officer thought that there may really be an actual burglar still inside the house that the newly returned homeowner had not yet discovered? That's the way a lot of cops are trained and/or think.
