QUESTION
Can a police officer search your refrigerator during response to a 911 call?

More details to this question:
Recently my daughter took a tumble off the bed and cut her nose, and I called 911. My neighbor who I do not get along with told the police that I am a very bad parent. The officer then did a CPS type search, including searching my entire apartment including going into my refrigerator. My daughter was not anywhere near the kitchen. I feel as if my 4th amendment right was violated.

Unless they obtained evidence from your refrigerator that they are going to use against you in court it is a moot point.
