CA8: Advice of right to refuse consent was apparently determinative when consent was a close call.

FourthAmendment.com - News - Thu, 2025-05-01 13:29

The district court’s finding of consent was, it said, a close call, but defendant was advised of his right to refuse and consented. [Thus, advice of right to refuse consent was apparently determinative when consent was a close call.] United States v. Mendoza, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 9673 (8th Cir. May 14, 2012)*:

. . . The validity of consent is a question of fact, which we review for clear error. See id.

The district court recognized the factual record made this case a close call. On the one hand, Mendoza did not explicitly state the officers were permitted to search the Louis Place residence or sign the consent-to-search form, and the significant police presence at the roadside stop and the residence raise the possibility Mendoza merely acquiesced to police authority. See id. at 773. On the other hand, Mendoza's gestures and body language indicated his consent. Officer Fink and Detective Batcheller specifically informed Mendoza of his right to refuse consent, and Mendoza clearly understood this right, because he initially refused consent and bargained with the officers regarding the terms of his consent.

CA9: No clear error in finding third-party consent, especially where she testified she consented

FourthAmendment.com - News - Thu, 2025-05-01 13:29

There was no clear error in the district court’s determination that defendant’s girlfriend he shared a bedroom with consented to a search of the bedroom to look for guns. She admitted it on the stand, too. She was not advised of a right to refuse, but that is only a factor. United States v. Graham, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 9605 (9th Cir. May 11, 2012).*

Defendant was stopped because his car was illegally parked and that was justification for the officer approaching the defendant and observing him allegedly under the influence. Miller v. Chenoweth, 2012 W. Va. LEXIS 276 (May 10, 2012).*
