M.D.La.: When multiple people with apparent authority are present, just one can consent

When multiple people with apparent authority are present, any one of them can consent. Here, the credible evidence shows that three did. Defendant’s Randolph argument is rejected. United States v. Bourgeois, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 18927 (M.D. La. Feb. 9, 2017).

The failure to use a traffic signal justified the stop, and the smell of marijuana in the vehicle justified the search. United States v. Sandoval, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 19143 (W.D. Ky. Feb. 10, 2017).*
