False. While search warrants are generally required for police officers to search homes and other private properties, there are certain situations where they can conduct searches without a warrant. These include situations where there is probable cause to believe that a crime is being committed, evidence is being destroyed, or there is an immediate threat to public safety. Additionally, consent from the homeowner or occupant can also waive the need for a warrant. However, the specifics can vary depending on local laws and regulations.
