From link:Circumstances for an Emergency Search without a warrant-
I wonder if MT told them the location of the weapon used in murder.
Search Warrants: What They Are and When They're Necessary
"The Emergency Exception
As a general rule, the police are authorized to conduct a warrantless search when the time it would take to get a warrant would jeopardize public safety or lead to the loss of important evidence. Here are some situations in which most judges would uphold a warrantless search:
- Following a street drug arrest, an officer enters the house after the suspect shouts into the house, "Eddie, quick, flush it!" The officer arrests Eddie and seizes the stash.
- A police officer on routine patrol hears shouts and screams coming from a residence, rushes in, and arrests a suspect for spousal abuse.
- A police officer in "hot pursuit" of a fleeing felon continues the chase into the suspect's dwelling in order to make the arrest."
