I have been keeping an eye on this post and even commenting a few times. It is incredible to see some of the viewpoints on here. I may not agree but some have made strong arguements. But again those on their self proclaimed high horse throw their opinions out without ever knowing the facts of the case. No where in the case history does it say the GW went on this guys property to commit a search, he went to to property to speak with the gentleman, where in plain view he discovered the evidence.

Actually, I would argue that the standard should be the same or even higher. If you need to demonstrate clear just cause to obtain a warrant to intrude on someone's property even to apprehend a dangerous criminal
I hope that a person never breaks in your house and holds you and your family hostage cause I know you will not be happy in the delaying your rescue while a warrant is obtained to enter your property and arrest the person.
As said previously "be careful what you wish for."
