A quick definition of common-authority rule:

Common-Authority Rule: This is a rule that says if someone has control or access to a property, they can give permission for the police to search it, even if it's not their property. However, the person giving permission must have the legal right to do so, and the person who owns the property takes the risk that someone else might allow a search.

A more thorough explanation:

The common-authority rule is a principle that allows a person to give consent to a police officer's search of another person's property if both individuals use, control, or have access to the property. This means that if one person consents to a search, it is considered valid even if the other person does not consent.

For example, if two roommates share an apartment and one of them consents to a police officer's search of the apartment, the search is considered legal even if the other roommate did not give consent. However, the consenting person must have the legal right to permit the search, and the defendant must have assumed the risk that a fellow occupant might allow a search.

The common-authority rule is often used in cases where multiple people have access to a shared property, such as a car or a home. It is important to note that the rule only applies if the consenting person has the legal authority to permit the search.

Help us make LSD better!

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
