The forth amendment to the constitution address the issue of unreasonable search and seizure:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution The second amendment to the constitution address the right to keep and bear arms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Other provision of the constitution address the right to privacy and due process. State, city, or community law cannot violate the rights granted in the Federal Constitution and its Bill of Rights, which is the highest law of the land. However, state, city and local community laws vary greatly and are are not always applied evenly across all jurisdictions, but it would seem to me that a police officer would have his greatest authority when on location where a crime is possibly, or actually, in progress, whether it is in a home or otherwise. Not ever law or enforcement procedure enacted by the states, cities or local communities adhere to the Federal Constitution, but it is expensive to take a case to the supreme court, and only the lucky have their case selected to be heard. so the standard in most jurisdictions is what is allowed within the community that elects its state, city, and local officials, and who serve a juries in various local courthouses across the state.
