David Allen - "Emergency Aid" Exception to Unreasonable Search and Seizure

David Allen reviews a case in which the police conducted a search without a warrant. An unidentified woman called the police saying she was concerned that a domestic disturbance was taking place. She heard yelling and screaming. She thought a child might be inside the house and could get hurt. The police responded. They came onto the property through the backyard and saw a man tending to marijuana. They found more marijuana plants inside. When charged, the man argued the evidence should be suppressed since the police lacked a warrant. The state Constitution allowed police to enter private property without a warrant to provide "emergency aid". The Oregon Supreme Court decides whether the exception applies in this situation.

To me it sounds like if someone or the police know you are doing something illegal in your home they can just say someone made a 911 call because they were worried.
