Not exactly 2A per se, but certainly could be important in a 2A case.

TLDR: California guy drives drunk and plays loud music. Cop follows him home, turns on his lights (not his siren) as he approaches the house. Cop puts his foot into the garage to prevent the door from closing, comes in the garage, says he smells alcohol on the guy’s breath. In court, the guy says that the cop violated the 4th Amendment because he wasn’t “truly in hot pursuit,” so entering without a warrant is unjustified. Gets shot down and appeals fo Supreme Court. Supreme court says “look, you’re an a-hole and your DUI still stands, but you have a point.” So they will be examining whether or not it’s a 4A violation for entering a home without a warrant for minor offenses/misdemeanors.
