My guess would be only in certain situations. For instance in the ongoing pursuit of an alleged offender where they have strong cause to believe he may have entered the premises or after making an application and being granted a search warrant based on reasonable evidence of which probable cause may be a part thereof. This may at least point you in the direction.~ According to my study, all law enforcement must have a warrant to enter your home, unless in exigent circumstances such as obvious and dangerous child abuse, etc.

If you had cameras installed at your home does that give law enforcement the right to search your home?
No, not that reason alone. They would have to have probable cause that some kind of offesnse was taking place within, or on, your property, or that you were harboring an individual that was wanted. That is the criteria that a judge would have to have in an affidavit in order to issue a search warrant.
Who does not need a warrant?
What kind of warrant? All law enforcement agencies such as local/city police and/or State police need a search warrant to legally enter your home,unless they have probable cause which means no warrant is needed such as if they chase a criminal into his or your home,they hear someone inside a home screaming for help,if they are called to the home by an occupant for domestic violence and no one answers the door,if they see a person break into your home through a window or other means,or if your house is on fire and no one answers the door and several other situations of probable cause.. The only agency that does not need a search warrant is the federal government if they suspect the occupants/owners of that home of being terrorist or having illegal ties to terrorist organizations that threaten US security....
What does unreasonable searches and seizures mean?
Unreasonable searches are those performed without a warrant or probable cause. Probable cause is established when a law enforcement officer can reasonably suspect the commission of a crime, without explicitly violating the suspect's expectation of privacy. For instance, if someone were to rob another person on the street in plain view of others, and then run into his private home, an officer could enter the property and apprehend the criminal. But if an officer randomly decided to search a house without permission or a search warrant, the search would be unreasonable, and the fruits of the search would be suppressed in court.
Can police put a bug in your home legally?
Yes. Federal wiretapping statutes require that prior to doing so, law enforcement agencies and officials must receive a court order. That continues to be true after the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, but the test for "probable cause" has diminished.

What is solid evidence in Florida to search home for drugs?
The Fourth Amendment guarantees against searches conducted without probable cause. Probable cause, in this context, would be information that would cause a reasonable person to believe there are unlawful drugs in the home. This information can come from many sources--informants who may have been in the home and seen the drugs, officers who have watched drugs being delivered to or sold out of the home, tips received from neighbors, etc. Although a home may be searched on probable cause alone, in most cases officers will apply for a search warrant before searching a home. Issuance of the search warrant is dependent on the judge signing the warrant agreeing that the information supplied by the police is sufficient to support probable cause. When the judge does agree and signs the warrant, he is saying he believes the police have "solid evidence" to search the home.
Can the police go into home with out a warrant?
It depends on what jurisdiction you are in. In many jurisdictions, police are legally permitted to enter a premises whenever they have "probable cause" or "reasonable cause" to suspect that there is an illegal activity in progress (for example, if they could hear someone being attacked). Some laws also may allow police to enter a house without a warrant if they are in the course of investigating a specific crime.
