Syllabus

Reagan Tokes Law Motion to Suppress Voluntary Consent Probable Cause Jail-Time Credit. Searches conducted with consent fall within a clearly delineated exception to the warrant requirement. The State bears the burden of establishing the alleged consent was obtained voluntarily. For consent to be valid, law enforcement need not advise an individual of the right to refuse consent. In reviewing whether a judge had probable cause to issue a warrant, an appellate court is limited to reviewing whether the judge had a substantial basis for concluding that probable cause existed.
