Whether a homeowner's repeated denials of consent to search during a 'knock and talk' establishes exigent circumstances, specifically that the destruction of evidence is imminent, to justify a warrantless entry and search of the home?
question presented is: Whether a homeowner’s repeated denials of consent to search during a “knock and talk” establishes exigent circumstances, specifically that the destruction of evidence is imminent, to justify a warrantless entry and search of the home?
