* In ''Series/Cain2012'', the eponymous paraplegic cop doesn't care if he doesn't have warrants to search for clues, he'll go to crime scenes and other places and rummage regardless.

Added DiffLines:
* ''Series/CriminalMinds'': An early episode has Gideon so convinced of the profile in a child abduction case that he barges into the suspect's home without any probable cause to find the victim. When the search initially comes up empty, Hotchner bemoans that it's legally dubious only if they don't find her, so they continue searching until they do. Presumably all is forgiven at that point, because it's never mentioned again.
Added DiffLines:
* ''Series/WithoutATrace'': One episode has Martin attempt to use this justification for searching a suspect's house for a missing college student. He claims he heard "chains and moaning," which he sort of ''did'', but it turned out to be a leashed dog. While inside, he searched the basement and took a binder with photos of young men similar to the victim, hoping it would give them sufficient evidence for a proper warrant. [[SubvertedTrope The judge he presents this to spells out how badly he messed up.]]

* Comes up twice in ''Manga/CatsEye'':
** Early on, Cat's Eye has informed the police they'll steal a painting from Seguchi's house, but Seguchi denies them access. Between this reaction and Cat's Eye mostly targeting crooks they realize he's a criminal, but since he's rich and well-connected they can't get a search warrant and have to stay in front of the house... Until Cat's Eye starts a fire, giving Toshio and Asatani probable cause and allowing them to find stolen art in his house.
** Later the police has tracked down an art smuggling ring to a foreign embassy, but [[DiplomaticImpunity can't get in unless the foreign government gives them permission]] and they have nothing concrete to show... So Toshio dresses up as a ninja and sneaks in to find the evidence, with [[DatingCatwoman his girlfriend Hitomi, a member of Cat's Eye]], following him to help because Toshio is ''useless'' as a thief. The evidence Toshio finds is enough to pressure the foreign government to give the police access.
