Which part of “the police must personally witness a felony in progress, or have a search warrant” do you not understand? I’ll link you to the legal analysis on FOX NEWS no less again. Source If all the police need to search your house is someone claiming they witnessed a crime, the fourth amendment would cease to exist.

What part of investigation of reported possible felony don’t you understand?

By your standard, no crime on private property could be investigated unless the a police officer witnessed it.

The witness of felony in progress, or search warrant applies to an officer acting on his own initiative. i.e. randomly kick in doors. It does not apply to reports of felonies by 911 callers, hence the term investigation of possible felony.

The officer is making a determination whether a felony is in progress. Based on credible witness calling 911.
