Can a minor "occupant" in her parent's home give consent for an intruder to enter the home in order to commit a felony?

^4. This statement must be qualified to account for cases holding that one occupant of a home cannot give permission for an intruder to enter in order to commit a felony against a second occupant. (See People v. Sears (1965) 62 Cal.2d 737, overruled on other grounds in People v. Cahill (1993) 5 Cal.4th 478, 510, fn. 17; People v. Clayton (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 418.) Further, as discussed below, a minor "occupant" in her parent's home does not have the same unconditional possessory right to allow others to enter the home as her parent does.

^5. Fourth Amendment jurisprudence involves " ' " 'balancing [a search's] intrusion on the individual's Fourth Amendment interests against its promotion of legitimate governmental interests.' " ' " (People v. Robinson (2010) 47 Cal.4th 1104, 1120, quoting Vernonia School Dist. 47J v. Acton (1995) 515 U.S. 646, 652-653.) Entry for purposes of committing a felony involves no countervailing social benefits so there is less reason to construe consent to such entry liberally.
