A sharply divided Supreme Court decided that a "consent search" is no good if the wife consents but her cokehead lawyer husband doesn't.
Chief Roberts, Scalia, and that other guy dissented. Everybody wrote an opinion.
We havent actually read them - can't get enough computer time lately.
The majority was right - the scope of the consent exception should be narrow. Too often, it's "consent or else!" which is of course, not really consent.
We'd like to see consent need to be in informed and in writing, like a miranda warning.
The cop asked if we understood our rights. We said no. So they arrested and tortured us. Long story.
