“We know we’re secure in our ‘persons, houses, papers, and effects’ unless the cops demonstrate probable cause to a judge and get a warrant. Except… Except when they don’t. The fact of the matter is that police have a lot of leeway to bust your door down and take a look around if they fear that waiting for a warrant could lead to loss of evidence or danger to people. Or lead to something, anyway. That end run around the Fourth Amendment is called ‘exigent circumstances,’ and nobody really seems to be sure where it starts and stops. Except for the police. They know it when they see it.”
