I wonder if an "Investigation" requires a judge's approval for a warrant? If so, the use of "inspections" might be "harassment" and reason to challenge the law's constitutionally?

Actually this is a very valid point...there was a case where police officers were at a motel and smelled marijuana emanating from a room. So they forced entry into a room and searched it and found drugs.
The case was thrown out because the appellate judge ruled that the officers not being 100% certain which room the smell had come out of had plenty of time to attempt to obtain a search warrant.
So it would seem to follow the same line of logic here. They view a scene, and think..."she looks young." Why do they not have to then take this scene and show a D.A. who then goes in front of a judge for a search warrant?
