Still too open ended. This can be so easily abused.

So true. We have a bathroom right next to the front door. So, all I have to do is turn on the water to wash my hands before opening the door, and if the cop hears me, it's break-in time?

Rather than bashing down people's doors, why don't cops simply hire someone to put a trap in the sewer main right outside the house, then go and announce their presence? If they're lucky the crooks will give them the evidence directly without them even having to search for it.
