Joe, and to add to your comments, if an officer is invited into your house, then they can seize or confiscate, ONLY illegal items. They can not search your house or look around. On TV when they show an officer on Law And Order wandering around, they are conducting an Illegal Search.

Wes, I bet that officers "get" away with some tactics, because a large lawsuit has not been pressed. Search and Seizure have been to the Supreme Court on many occassions, Police Officers may only do so much, then thye are liable, as is the PD.
