"As the police were doing their door-to-door search on the night in question, they came upon the Jungwirth house and they found what is allegedly called a growing operation going on," District Attorney Bill Lennon said.

Er...sounds like this search may also be unconstitutional. If you don't have a valid right to randomly search houses looking for a gun, then anything you find in those searches will also be bounced.

Idiots!

I don't disagree with you, but some people are stupid enough to say, "Sure officer, you can look around without a warrant."

Having a search warrant certainly helps with admissibility:

"We won't know until Wednesday what police removed from the Jungwirth's house. That's when the search warrant will be returned to the Clerk of Courts office."

In Washington State, if a reasonable person can look at your house and reasonably conclude it looks like you have marijuana plants growing there, the cops don't need a warrant.
