Law enforcement personnel want to rush with a search, without waiting for a warrant, because destruction of evidence seems imminent. They can do this under:

Exigent circumstances - "circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to believe that entry (or other relevant prompt action) was necessary to prevent physical harm to the officers or other persons, the destruction of relevant evidence, the escape of the suspect, or some other consequence improperly frustrating legitimate law enforcement efforts."
