In an effort to ‘get people thinking differently about guns’, Police Chief Norm Jacobs of the Beloit Police Department is asking locals to grant the police department access to their homes so they may search for firearms.
Police claim that their request will allow them to locate guns that the homeowner didn’t know they had in their possession. Jacobs even stated that he believes there is a chance they will discover firearms linked to crimes.
“That’s really what we’re looking for,” the Chief said. “Maybe we’ll find a toy gun that’s been altered by a youngster in the house — and we know the tragedies that can occur there on occasion.”

So let's say this search is allowed, I suppose anything of a questionable nature 'in plain sight' will be grounds for further action.
All without a warrant...
