Actually, officers have no business on anyone's private property unless A). they see a major violent felony or burglary in progress and the homeowner is absent, B.) are summoned or invited onto the property by the owner, and/or C.) have a warrant.

Those are the ONLY times they have any business being on anyone's property? Hmmm. I subscribe to you that most if not all state supreme courts and the SCOTUS disagree. You don't watch any true crime tv shows, do you?

Enough to know that a lot of evidence they may obtain when entering private property not under the rubric of the three instances I cited invariably gets tossed under the Exclusionary Rule.
