nope...not the way I read it

Exigent circumstances - This means that if the officer believes there is immediate danger to his life or others, or to someone's private property, and he believes there is some emergency where there is no intent to arrest or seize evidence, the warrant requirement is waived. An example would be that he believes a suspect is hiding a gun under the couch on which he is sitting and believes he might try to use it. In this case, the officer could search for and seize the gun without a warrant.

The way I read that......you have a killer on the loose....he may harm you or that officer. He may be in MULTIPLE houses. So the warrant would be waved for all houses the officer questioned his presence in, since he has no intent on using anything he finds in the house against the homeowner. Regardless if he busts into a meth lab or not, The only thing he's taking is the suspect.
