Does a search conducted pursuant to a valid consent violate the Fourth Amendment?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Bravo, 238 Cal.Rptr. 282, 43 Cal.3d 600, 738 P.2d 336 (Cal. 1987):
A search conducted pursuant to a valid consent does not violate the Fourth Amendment unless the search exceeds the scope of the consent. (Washington v. Chrisman (1982) 455 U.S. 1, 9-10, 102 S.Ct. 812, 818, 70 L.Ed.2d 778.) Appellant acknowledges that he voluntarily consented to be searched without a warrant at any time. The only issue therefore is the scope of appellant's consent.
