After being stopped and searched on Belsize road and being arrested for having stolen credit cards the following occurred "As we drove away, D.S. Carter told me that we were going to my home address to search it. We drove to my house, and we all got out of the car. I felt I had no option but to let them into the house. Gregory and Felicity were not at home. The two officers searched the lounge looking in drawers and cupboards. They did the same in the kitchen, the bathroom and the two bedrooms. In my bedroom they found a small box in a bedside drawer. Inside it they found some cannabis. Very occasionally Gregory and I smoke some cannabis. This cannabis had been there for some time. I told the officers that it was cannabis just for personal use. It was only a small amount. D.S. Carter said, “you are also under arrest for this.”"

Questions:
Can the police legally enter and search the home without a warrant? please use relevant case and laws

Answer:I hope that helps!

Explanation: The police cannot search your home or belongings without a warrant, but there are exceptions. The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects private citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures.
