You are correct, it was the CONSENT that sent it over the top. DO not consent, make them try to get a warrant, and do not say anything to the police person.
Had a female policeman pull me over, heard some bawling and asked what I had in the trunk. I said a baby goat and she was flummoxed. She finally asked if she could see the goat and I agreed. Baby goat in a pet carrier heading home. She didn’t stop laughing for awhile, I figure.
We need to overthrow the Supreme Court. This is probably one of the worst rulings in history.
