BUT that depends also on where u live, obviously more po dunk towns rnt gonna be all that sophisterated.
waiver, just basically a guarantee in case u want to bring them to court, that there is no argument that yeh, u volintarily let them in. u can show a piece of paper in court, but words can be argued.
even in the cases of murder, where obviously yeh, ur gonna le the cops in to do their thing, they will still get a warrant just to be on the safe side. cuz every so often there will be that weirdo talkin bout 'i didnt let them in they had no right to be here' etc etc...

Right, so basically anytime a police officer drives by my place and I am standing outside, he can stop and I should consent to a search of my house:eek:
They had no reason to search the guys house, he was in the yard, there was no gun present at that time, therefore no justified reason for the search.
If had been me, Sorry officer, no warrant no search. All it takes is one guy with a bug up his ass to ruin your whole life. Yea yea I know what you are going to say, that not all cops are bad, that may be true but there is enough of them.
I think that they overreacted, my guess is that it is a small town, without much going on and these 2 guys wanted to play "riggs and murtaw"
