Q. I just want to know if the police have the right to search my house or apartment without a warrant.
A. Generally, you need a warrant, but like most rules there are exceptions.
The exception requires two things: probable cause and exigent circumstances.
Exigent circumstance is defined as something that makes getting a warrant unreasonable. Examples include a scream for help, reason to believe evidence is being destroyed, or to prevent escape of a criminal.
If you provide details of the event, perhaps I could give you a more specific answer.

How many times will my probation officer search my house?
Q. im on formal probation and they said they were gonna search my house. if they dont suspect anything will they go through EVERYTHING in my house? and how many times do they usually come?
A. Don't forget the police will be coming too. I pull over probationers and parolees, then drive them home to search their stuff a couple times a week. Totally legal. Of course, I usually end up taking them to jail after the search.
What is the best way to search houses for rent?
Q. We live in Ohio, and are searching for a house for rent, not an apartment. What is the best way to go about searching homes for rent? We can find plenty of apartments for rent, and houses for sale, but we are having a hard time finding houses for rent.
A. Also you might want to check Craigslist. I find it superbly helpful but I also know other people have had problems with spam on there. It may be worth a try :) I've subletted quite a few apartments on there so I know the housing section works pretty well.
what evidence do the cops need for a warrant to search your house for drugs?
Q. i am doing a paper for my criminal justice class on narcotics and i am trying to figure out how much evidence the police would need to gather before they could do a raid or gain a search warrant to search your house for illegal drugs. also what kind of evidence, ect.
A. The burden of proof required to get a search warrant is "probable cause". The law does not provide specific examples of probable cause, it just requires the officer to provide a statement under oath. That statement is reviewed by a judge. If the judge determines probable cause exists, then the warrant will be signed.
There is no all inclusive list of things needed to get a warrant. Some examples of things that I've seen warrants issued on:
-reliable information from a credible source
-a traffic stop where drugs are found just after they leave a residence
-anonymous tips of drug use along with surveillance that corroborates the anonymous information.
