Can police enter my home with out a search warrant?
In law there’s such a thing called “in flagrante delicto” Latin: “while [the crime] is blazing” It is a legal term used to indicate that a criminal has been caught in the act of committing an offence. The colloquial “caught red-handed” or “caught in the act” are English equivalents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_flagrante_delicto So if the authorities believe a crime is being committed in your house, they don’t need a search warrant. Otherwise, police need a search warrant to enter your home.
