I doubt the problem was probable cause. They just didn't want to have to find a prosecutor to write up the warrant and then find a judge to sign it when they were already there. “I find it odd that the wife stating that her husband had cocaine wasn’t enough probable cause.” I doubt the problem was probable cause.

They take what was a bright line area of the law and makes it clear as mud. I’ve read all the opinions, and the majority got this one wrong.

Suppose you tell all the adults in your family to say no, on general principles, to a request to search your home. Your ever helpful wife or eighteen year old son who spent too much time at government school says yes just as you turn the corner to see what's up. After telling the officers no to the search they tell you "all it takes is one adult". All it takes is one adult to make you feel violated. Gets better when they find pot in the eighteen year old son's bedroom. I've told all of mine to say no in all situations and to decline to answer investigators questions always but who knows if the, so far untested, lesson holds. Dissapointed but unsurprised by Roberts.
