How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• looking to facts tacitly known to the defendant and the officer to interpret the request for consent
• relying on Harvey and explaining that “[a] reasonable person in defendant’s position would have understood a ‘search’ to involve more than simply looking into the open areas of the car”
• “[A] general request for consent to search a car does not extend to closed containers in the car if no other circumstances reasonably indicate that the officers are searching for something that could be hidden in those containers.”
