Supreme Court balks at automatic warrantless searches when police are in ‘hot pursuit' for lesser crimes
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to give police the automatic power to enter homes without a warrant when they're in “hot pursuit” for a misdemeanor crime, ruling against an officer who charged a man with DUI after slipping under his garage door.
We support lawful policing and public safety, which is something the police need to focus on, especially now. Go after the truly dangerous criminals now ruling the streets, not hunting for crimes during minor offenses.
