Warrantless means that government officers carry out a search or arrest without a warrant or any other legal authorization. The requirement of a warrant serves to protect individuals' privacy interests against unreasonable governmental intrusion.
Once an officer has stopped you, they can form probable cause to search or arrest you based on additional observations.
