California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Dyke, 224 Cal.App.3d 648, 274 Cal.Rptr. 66 (Cal. App. 1990):
However, a homeowner's Fourth Amendment rights are violated when officers enter his home to arrest a guest pursuant to an arrest warrant. (Steagald v. United States (1981) 451 U.S. 204, 213-214, 101 S.Ct. 1642, 1648, 68 L.Ed.2d 38.) A search warrant is required under such circumstances to protect the rights of the homeowner. (Ibid.)
