That's my understanding also (can't prohibit an owner). You OWN the property (co-own, in the case of common property).
However, like having an employer, that doesn't mean that your board couldn't punish you for breaking the "rules", which an entirely different basket.. And HOAs (inc Condo associations) have a pretty bad rap on flatly ignoring the constitution - largely because they have everyone's money and indemnification for those making the decisions.

If they call the police, I'd simply inform them that you're a co-owner of the property and hope that they leave it alone as a civil issue.
