A search warrant would be necessary for Officer Goldman's partners to legally collect any remaining evidence in the home to use as evidence in prosecuting the case. This would require a judge's approval based on probable cause. Consent or seizure would not be appropriate in this situation. An arrest warrant is only necessary if the suspect is not already in custody.
