I don't think they do. The laws only protect you from them searching somewhere where you have "legitimate expectation of privacy." Your yard, anything visible in your car, your garbage, can all be searched without a warrant, and anything they find could give resonable cause for a search of your home.

Check out this site for information on search and seizure laws.

That is kinda freaky... did they ever knock on your door?
