California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Thompson, 221 Cal.App.3d 923, 270 Cal.Rptr. 863 (Cal. App. 1990):
" 'In terms that apply equally to seizures of property and to seizures of persons, the Fourth Amendment has drawn a firm line at the entrance to the house. Absent exigent circumstances, that threshold may not reasonably be crossed without a warrant.' " (Steagald, supra, 451 U.S. at p. 212, 101 S.Ct. at p. 1647, [68 L.Ed.2d at p. 45], citing Payton v. New York (1980) 445 U.S. 573, 590 [100 S.Ct. 1371, 1382, 63 L.Ed.2d 639].)
