Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The supreme Court has not made such a ruling. It is trespassing and an invasion of privacy for journalists to go with the police when they execute search warrants.

In order for a journalist and his crew to be able to do anything or footage, their entrance into the property must be in a lawful way and they must seek permission from the occupant of the property before they can carry out any form of journalism. When permission is given they can start.
