if a cop can claim he "heard" something in your apartment which allows him to break your door down, i hope you can extrapolate the rammifications of that idea. If probable cause enters the realm of "i heard something" then things are seriously screwed up. This gives the police carte blanche to do whatever the hell they want and know they have SCOTUS behind them.
warrantless search becomes the new norm.
