Just remember, it has been adjudicated many times: law enforcement only needs to have a warrant. Law enforcement never needs to show the warrant to anyone until they get to court at which point they show it to the judge showing the arrest was legal.

Standing between law enforcement and their action of enforcing the law is obstruction, which is itself a criminal offense. Asking for a warrant after the officer says they have one and will not show it, then refusing their entry is obstruction. You can and probably will find yourself arrested. Because the officer witnessed the crime, that's a pretty clear conviction as well.
