What are the rules concerning third-party consent?
What will be an ideal response?
The Supreme Court has held that the warrantless entry of private premises by police officers is valid if based on the apparent authority doctrine. In other words, a warrantless entry of a residence is valid if it is based on the consent of a person whom the police reasonably believe
has authority to grant consent, even if their beliefs are ultimately erroneous (Illinois v. Rodriguez, 497 U.S. 177 [1990]). The test for reasonableness in this situation, according to the Court, is as follows: "[W]ould the facts available to the officer at the moment [of the entry] . . . warrant a man of reasonable caution in the belief that the consenting party had authority over the premises?"
