In doing so, they discovered several areas of the home in which controlled substances were hidden. The agents argued that by searching Johnson without a warrant, they prevented the potential destruction of evidence.III. Clerks' decision to conduct a warrantless search without suspicion of criminal activity on the part of the probation officer.
