(Well, a warrantless search could still be legal if the officers conducting the search "reasonably believe" that a person in the property is in need of immediate aid. Warden already knows that the hospital records were tampered with, and that the Mane-iac could very well still be alive. Mid-Nite's apartment was identified by the Warden and Noci as a place where an insane (Warden doesn't know of Mane-iac's return to sanity yet) mass murderer could be hiding. For all they know, Mane-iac could be slowly slicing Mid-Nite into sushi in his own apartment. On top of that, Mid-Nite himself is already suspected of hiding a high-profile prisoner after helping her escape from a hospital in which she was being treated, and on top of that, Mid-Nite could be helping Mane-iac destroy remaining evidence (like paper hospital records) in there.)
