   You have heard what the present condition and exigencies of these several charities are. Francis Atterbury, Sermons.

   While our fortunes exceed not the measure of real conve nience, and are adapted to the exigencies of our station, we perceive the hand of providence in our gradual and successive supplies. John Rogers, Sermon 2.

   2. Pressing necessity; distress; sudden occasion.

   This dissimulation in war may be called stratagem and conduct; in other exigencies address and dexterity. Notes on the Ody.

   Now in such exigencies not to need,
   Upon my word you must be rich indeed!

   Not for yourself, but for your fools and knaves. Alexander Pope.

1. exigence

   In criminal procedure law of the United States, an exigent circumstance allows law enforcement (under certain circumstances) to enter a structure without a search warrant, or if they have a "knock and announce" warrant, allows them to enter without knocking and waiting for the owner's permission to enter. It must be a situation where people are in imminent danger, evidence faces imminent destruction, or a suspect's escape is imminent. Once entry is obtained, the plain view doctrine applies, allowing the seizure of any evidence or contraband discovered in the course of actions consequent upon the exigent circumstances.
