Reply #2: K&R - but I must make a correction, an important correction to my mind

[ThomWV]

Here is what you said:

"Under the Fourth Amendment, police are barred from entering a home without first obtaining a warrant, which can only be issued by a judge upon probable cause. The only exception is when the circumstances qualify as “exigent,” meaning there is imminent risk of death or serious injury, danger that evidence will be immediately destroyed, or that a suspect will escape. However, exigent circumstances cannot be created by the police."

Here is my correction - no place in the Constitution is there an exception to the 4th Amendment or any other Amendment that applies when "there is imminent risk of death or serious injury, danger that evidence will be immediately destroyed, or that a suspect will escape. However, exigent circumstances cannot be created by the police."

In fact the word "exigent" does not exist in the Constitution.
