This question seems to be asking whether a police officer, with no exigent circumstances, may search your home without anything else. The answer is NO. They need to have a Search Warrant. That Warrant must also state the places to be searched and the items to be searched for/seized if found. An investigator who is not a police officer does not have these restrictions – such as a private investigator. Their acts are still governed by law, but they are not restricted by the 4th Amendment.
IN ORDER FOR A INVESTIGATOR TO SEARCH YOUR HOME THEY NEED A SEARCH WARRANT OR UNLESS YOU GIVE PERMISSION FOR THEM TO SEARCH YOUR PLACE WITHOUT A WARRANT
an investigator use to need a search warrant. However i think now with the patriot act if the gov approves it they need nothing.
NONE of the above.
