An arrest warrant is NOT a search warrant nor does it allow cops to storm into any place they want at any time they want.
This is a huge 4th Amendment violation and I hope they pay through the nose for it!
An Arrest warrant DOES allow them to enter the suspects residence and locate and arrest the individual. This is also normally “expanded” to cover where the fugitive located, for example, at their work location.
The grey area is when they LEO has bad information or incorrect address.
Absent a warrant, there is no authority to enter. In Payton v. New York, the Supreme Court held unconstitutional a law in New York that allowed law enforcement to enter a residence without a warrant in order to arrest a suspect for a felony.
Arrest warrants provide the government with the right to arrest a suspect where he or she may be found. This often includes a residence where an officer has a reason to believe the suspect lives even when this is not the address of the individual’s residence.
