I don't know if I would rely on something called "Russia Today" for an honest report of a USSCt case.

Particularly when the entire opinion is available on line for you to read for yourself:

Fernandez v. California

The police were in hot pursuit of a robbery suspect. He ran into an apartment, and the police heard screaming and fighting inside. When they knocked on the door, a battered and bleeding woman answered the door. She denied that anyone was in the apartment but her infant son. They asked her if they could conduct a protective sweep, and Fernandez then suddenly appeared and objected to a search. He was arrested for domestic assault and then was identified by the robbery victim and charged with the robbery also. Another officer returned to the apartment an hour later and obtained oral and written consent to search from the woman.

Not quite what it was billed to be.

Or so they said. I know the California courts and the police here. They are not always the heroes they are billed to be.

A good summary.
