Thanks Stephan for the clarification. I don't like the answer, but it is what it is.

I am happy to see "informed consent" mentioned in this thread. This is a term and principal I deal with on the EMS side of my job. So my question to the LEO's is do you get informed consent or just consent when you request a search. I believe there is a HUGE distinction. What does the law "require" regarding consent?

Below are Wikipedia definitions of each:

Thanks to all for their input on this. This is a great topic and has been handled very well.
