They are not looking for heat sigs from non suspect houses/warehouses.
nice to know, but wasnt a 400wt guy on here busted by flir? I look at it this way , your flying from a to b , keeping an eye on the flir screen isnt hard, most importantly with all the cuts going on these days, if your given the choice of firing some pilots or cutting shifts, do you get rid of the guy who did the job grand or the guy who did it grand too but reported suspects that led to busts and got you a pat on the back?
they always need a warrent unlessthe garda don't need a search warrant if they can display probable cause.
to enter a house to arrest a person
crime in progress a (room full of plants in plain view)
if theyre chasing some one and they run inside your house
they have to give you a copybut you have to make them display it
when they ask to see whats in the boot of the car, you are volunteering to a search. you could just say no.then they recite a traffic and you ask them to display their probable cause. if they don't have it or try to say that, by not opening your boot is probable cause, they are lying. they needed it before they stopped you.
if you say no-
1 car and you brought to station to be searched
2 smelt drugs- search there and then
3 weapons like you said
Why did you stop the car?
He was driving suspiciously / in a high crime area/ recklessly
Why did you search his vehicle
Smelt cannabis/ object thrown from windows driver- suspect object not found
Did you find any?
No, but he was positive in a road side drug test
Ask a seasoned guard about probable cause and theyle give you a list as long as your arm=piped same with the misuse of drugs act, they need "probable cause" to search you, your car and your house. they arn't even able to look into your bags without it unless you volunteer it. tbh if you don't volunteer then they look at you more and may put you down as a person of interest. it 's better to talk around them or bore them off you.
under the firearms act they are allowed to path down anyone without a search warrant

TLDR
Walking around= you have no rights- give in and be searched
In you car= you have no rights- give in and be searched
Your house= So long as you dont act like an idiot or let them in for a unrelated trivial matter= they need a warrent (except for reasons at start)
