What are instances when no warrant of arrest or search warrant is necessary to undertake?
Though the laws vary by region; in the US the standard for entering a home without a search warrant is generally "imminent harm" or "extenuating circumstances"; while these are intentionally vague concepts the overall idea is that generally a life must be in danger. For example if a police officer hears someone screaming inside or has reason to believe a kidnap victim or child is being held against their will they would be able to enter a premise without a warrant. Also in most cases in pursuit of a suspect; especially an armed suspect than no warrant would be required to continue pursuit during an active chase. Generally the only thing they can do in those cases is search for all people in the home or vehicle, secure their safety and than secure the property. Once all immediate threats have been secured only "visible" items on the property could be confiscated. Any additional search of things or items not in plain view must wait for a warrant. Of course it will typically be easy (and relatively fast) to secure a warrant on a property where police were already forced to enter in pursuit of a suspect or to save a life. Police can order everyone to leave the resisdence and await the arrival of the warrant while the property remains empty.

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.
