Unfortunately, the Founders included the word “unreasonable” in the Fourth Amendment, leaving the door open to regimes who consider warrantless searches to be “reasonable.”

The context gives the word “teeth”. They would have to have “reasonable” belief that the perp was in your particular house. Otherwise it is unreasonable.

or, perhaps, they had a reasonable belief your house was on fire and you might not make it if they don't go in and get you.

Maybe we could do that ~ require people to post signs about what they think the 4th amendment means to them. If somebody wants a warrant, the house can fall in and nobody cares. If somebody says 'save me worry about warrants later', then you go in and save them.

The term 'unreasonable' was used for a very good reason ~

BTW, i do not believe in standing by while someone kills himself or others and it's only because the abortion crowd has command of the organs of state that I"m not out there stopping those guys ~ but they pull back the cops I'm on top of that.
