Whether the exigent circumstances doctrine extends to situations where there is time to obtain a warrant or other judicial process?

QUESTIONS PRESENTED This case squarely presents two important federal questions regarding the scope of the exigent circumstances exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement. THE QUESTIONS PRESENTED ARE: 1. Whether the exigent circumstances doctrine extends to situations where there is time to obtain a warrant or other judicial process? 2. Whether, under this Court’s emergency aid precedents, there can there be an objectively reasonable basis for a warrantless home entry where there is no specific evidence of serious injury or threat of such injury and where the only evidence regarding the individual’s location points elsewhere? ii PARTIES TO THE PETITION Petitioner e =6 Sally Gaetjens Respondents e City of Loves Park e Winnebago County e §=Doug Allton e = Philip Foley e Jennifer Stacy e Dave Kaske e Joshua Del Rio iii LIST OF PROCEEDINGS District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Case No. 16 C 50261 Gaetjens v.
