Destruction of Evidence permits entry to prevent imminent destruction and to preserve status quo.

True False Only with a warrant Only during daytime

Correct Answer:

True

Explanation:

Exigent circumstances allow entry without a warrant when evidence could be destroyed imminently or waiting would alter or contaminate the scene. In those moments, police may enter to prevent the imminent destruction of evidence and to preserve the status quo, provided their actions are reasonable and limited to addressing the emergency. This justification isn’t restricted to daytime and doesn’t require a warrant in advance. So the statement is true.
