Question:

It is 3 A.M. and the Brigham City police officers get a call about a loud party. Arriving at the house, they hear shouting inside. As they enter the yard, they see through a screen door and window a fight involving several persons. One officer opened the screen door and declared he was a police officer. He was ignored, and he then entered the room, eventually arresting several parties for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor. At trial, the defendants moved to suppress all evidence, claiming the warrantless entry violated their Fourth Amendment right to a search warrant. The state court agreed with the defendant. How do you think the U.S. Supreme Court ruled when it heard the appeal from the state of Utah?
