MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Lee v. Carroll, 127 F.3d 1105 (9th Cir. 1997):
The Fourth Amendment prohibits police from making a warrantless entry into a suspect's home to make an arrest absent exigent: circumstances or consent. See Steagald v. United States, 451 U.S. 204, 214 n. 7 (1981). Under certain narrow circumstances, "courts will infer consent from the cooperative attitude of a defendant." United States v. Impink, 728 F.2d 1228, 1232 (9th Cir.1984).
