Practice question
Officers lack a warrant and any independent exception. They claim a resident consented because he silently stood aside after repeated commands delivered by several armed personnel. The record supplies no specific intelligent voluntary agreement. Which is best?
- The stated acquiescence does not by itself establish valid consent
- Standing aside always supplies every waiver requirement
- Every armed presence automatically proves valid consent
- The later discovery necessarily cures the consent defect
- No government search can ever rely on consent
