My favorite scene in Criminal Minds is when one of the heroes notices that a person fits the profile for the episode’s kidnapping villain.
That’s it, guy fits the profile. No screams from inside the house. No suspicious behavior. The justification for exigent circumstances is essentially “it appeared to me in a dream.”
The hero picks up a potted plant to smash his way into the house and somebody else says “We have to wait for a warrant!” to which he replies “THERE’S NO TIME!” and jumps through the glass window into the house.

Insanity.
“Yeah I gotcher warrant right here!” /chambers a round
"I’m going to need your badge and profiling notebook.
…and the ankle one."
Me thinks it really depends on how much the cops want to frame that person for the crime.
Oops, did I say that out loud?
