Legal Question in Constitutional Law in California
Ok kind of scenario based question
2 officers walking down a hallway looking for a man they had seen drinking in front of the building passed by a hotel room door that was partially open. Inside the room on the table, just a few feet away, an officer sees some plastic, a knife, and a razor. There is a women on the bed counting tin foil binles, who makes eye contact with the officer. The officer pushes open the door and enters. After opening one of the bindles and finding the drugs, he arrests the women. was the warrantless entry legal ? and why ?
