1. サツにハジキを持っているのをみつかるなよ。

Translation given: "Don't let the cops find a heater on you."

Where does the sense of "let" come from? Is it implied by に?


2. 彼のビジネスプランは立派だけど、勘定あって銭足らず 、という気もするけどね。

Translation given: "His business plan looks good on paper but I get the feeling it would never work in practice."

What is あって? Is it part of a compound 勘定あって? If so, what compound is that?


3. 「おんどりゃー馬鹿言ってんじゃねー」農家は言った。

Translation given: "Don't say such rubbish!" said the farmer.

What is the りゃー part of this? I mean, is it a contraction of something?
 
1)
I think it's from みつかる. It's close to the passive みつけられる here.

2)
It's a saying like a maxim or proverb, using a bit classical grammar.
勘定あって銭足らず = 勘定はあって( / あるけど)銭は足らない

3)
おんどりゃー/おんどれ is a rude way of saying "you". It's from おのれ.
 
Thank you,

1) Would this still mean the same if に was changed to が?
 
No, it doesn't. が indicates "what is found" or "the one who is found" when used with みつかる.
 
So it would be the combination of に with みつかる that creates the correct meaning?
 
More accurately, ~に見つかるな creates "Don't let ~ find". An affirmative declarative sentence, e.g., 警察に銃が見つかる/見つかった, doesn't mean "let". (Sorry, I should have answered like this in the first place.)
