Absolutely. And the courts are going to have to make some determination here. Unfortunately, these evaluations are often times very fact-intensive, so I don't know that there can be too many bright-line rules. Also, situations involving the well-being of another person do tend to require quicker reactions than would be possible if cops always had to go back to a judge and explain everything they saw and get a new warrant.
