How can that be true, RC? If the cops hear from a credible source that someone is suicidal, they can make a warrantless entry? Can they bust down a locked door too? I'm confused. Why do cops get 5150 orders (pick up and hold for observation orders) then?
The answer is yes, if LEO have reasonable suspicion to believe someone's life is in danger, they don't need a warrant. You would change this?
Suppose LEO arrive at a house, they hear a woman screaming inside, but they have no warrant..... They just let the woman get her ass kicked, or killed? Nope, reasonable suspicion.
