California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Scott K., In re, 142 Cal.Rptr. 61, 75 Cal.App.3d 162 (Cal. App. 1977):

It is now settled that, if the son had been an adult, the father would have had no right to consent to opening and searching the locked toolbox. (People v. Daniels (1971) 16 Cal.App.3d 36, 93 Cal.Rptr. 628.)
