Probable cause of what?

Jones was wanted on a probation violation..
Torres was not..
Jones was arrested outside the house..
There was no "probable cause" to enter the house..

Torres has/had the right to require a search warrant before allowing police to enter and search his house.

I suspect that Torres will be found innocent, and the police dept. and the city will have to pay damages and compensation..

That is correct . The only time it is allowed without a warrant is if life is in iminent danger, like a hostage situation.
