Yes and no. As a rule of thumb, your right to privacy is fiercely protected by the Constitution, which is why a search warrant is normally required before your privacy can be invaded. However, the interests of justice must also be served, to protect society. Therefore, the police can conduct a search without a warrant if they feel confident a warrant would be granted, but there is insufficient time to complete the process, and not conducting the search would be contrary to the interests of justice (i.e. evidence could be destroyed or a suspect could flee).
