On Tuesday, February 25th the Supreme Court announced a 6-3 decision that allows police officers to conduct warrantless searches of private residences outside the context of an emergency. The Court ruled that police may enter and search a home without a warrant over the previous objections of one resident, as long as another occupant consents.
