Actually, there are more like 6 exceptions to the warrant requirement. They are: (1)stop and frisk situation--also known as a terry stop (2)when the police have the consent of the individual or someone who also lives in the house (3)when the search involves an automobile (4)when the illegal item is in plain view and the police are on the property pursuant to a proper search warrant (5)when the search is incident to an arrest (6)and when there is an emergency type situation such as in hot pursuit of a suspect or there is the fear that the individual may destroy evidence before a search warrant can be obtained.

There are approximately 20 or more exceptions to the warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment. For instance, there is the search incident to arrest exception, which allows officers to search your clothes or certain belongings after you have been arrested. The most common exception is probably the consent exception. If the police just ask to search you or your property and you agree, no warrant is necessary. Others exceptions are the exigent circumstances, automobile search incident exception, inventory search exception, and several others.
