I won't quote this as it is the entire court ruling and therefore quite long however I will summerize... Police were called because this dude was overheard saying he was going to kill a couple of judges some off duty cops and take out some power transformers
. So the police go to this dudes trailer and his roommate answers the door and gives them permission to enter the house saying the guy is asleep down the hall. When they get to his room they don't see him so they check a couple of closets to see if he is hiding, where they notice a couple of guns... Story goes on...

I am a huge fan of the fourth amendment and the protections that it provides us, however I don't think this ruling is nearly as grave as the "news story" cited makes it out to be. There are a number of situations that enable a police officer to perform a search without a warrent. No offense to the person that said it, but I don't think this is much of a move towards big brother
