One male defendant effectively consented to a search of a woman\u2019s purse. When consent was asked for, he indicated the purse. He was asked again \u201cthis purse,\u201d and he nodded. This amounted to apparent authority to consent. It seemed to be defendant\u2019s. \u201cWe admit some question exists on this record as to the ownership of the bag\/purse. But ultimately, that does not matter. Hull consistently refers to the bag as his in his brief and did not disclaim ownership of the bag in the District Court. The Government, in its brief, labels the purse as belonging to Hull’s girlfriend, and later, confusingly claims the District Court determined the purse belonged to Hull’s girlfriend.\u201d United States v. Walker<\/a>, 2013 U.S. App. LEXIS 13391 (3d Cir. June 26, 2013) (citing the Urban Dictionary on \u201cmurse\u201d\u2013a man\u2019s purse).<\/p>\n

Defendant\u2019s mother could consent to a search of her adult son\u2019s room when both were present, the police never asked him, and he objected to her, not them, saying \u201cmommy, don\u2019t do it.\u201d United States v.
