• recognizing that a police “officer cannot, without some other suspicious activity, justify a warrantless entry based solely on the fear that evidence might be destroyed” (citation omitted)
• describing exemplary facts that could support a reasonable belief that evidence will be imminently destroyed, like doors being slammed, people running, people telling obvious lies to police at the door
• “a guidelines range based on false evidence can certainly constitute clear error”
