They have a "reasonable suspicion" that a crime has been committed, so they can do a warrant-less search.

Usually a crime scene is very obvious and requires an investigation due to it's presence, there fore not requiring a warrant. This is usually made evident by a body, large amount of blood, or by a victim's complaint and identification of the area. Anything like a car or house that MAY be part of the crime scene but is not immediately available for searching (locked car, locked house, gated property, etc.) will need a warrant.

Because it's a crime scene... it goes without saying that it will be investigated. Warrents are used for collecting evidence from "people of interest" or suspects.

Depends where the crime scene is and what they want to search, not who the officer is...

If they come across a crime in progress they need no warrent.
