Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In general, arrests made in third-party homes do require a warrant to search the property, unless there are exigent circumstances such as the need to prevent evidence from being destroyed or to ensure officer safety. However, there are some exceptions to this general rule, such as if the third-party homeowner consents to the search or if the arrest is made in "hot pursuit" of a fleeing suspect.
