What is the burden of proof needed for in an arrest?
It is not known as "The Burden of Proof" it is known as "PROBABLE CAUSE." Probable cause is a standard used in justifying certain police actions. For example, police need to have probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime exists. It is more than mere suspicion but less than the amount of evidence required for conviction. (e.g.- A police officer may have probable cause to believe that there is the possibility of criminal activity when someone is encountered trespassing on private property late at night wearing a stocking mask, in order to justify stopping and searching the person for possession of criminal tools.)

no. i think they can come on the property to knock on your door, and if you're growing pot outside or have bodies then you're screwed because they will just argue they had reasonable cause to come on to the property. however they can not enter a house, garage, or anything else like a pool house or green house without permission, or a warrant. if they do, anything they find will be inadmissible as evidence against you.
