“'Case law has made exceptions from the statute or common-law rules for exigent circumstances which may allow dispensation with the notice . . . It has also been held or suggested that notice is not required if there is reason to believe that it will allow an escape or increase unreasonably the physical risk to the police or to innocent persons.' ( People v. Floyd , 26 N.Y.2d 558, 562, 312 N.Y.S.2d 193, 260 N.E.2d 815.)”
