Are the police legally allowed to search my home without a warrant?

Jacob Thomas Erickson
Answered by attorney Jacob Thomas Erickson
Criminal Law lawyer at Smith, Paulson, O'Donnell Erickson, PLC
There are some exceptions to the requirement that police officers have a warrant before they enter your home. Unfortunately, there isn't enough information in this e-mail to know if any of those exceptions apply in your case. You should meet with an attorney in person, or over the phone, to discuss your case and see if there is a basis to exclude the evidence that the police retrieved from your home.
