GA: Getting upset when questioned about search is not revoking consent

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

Defendant's getting upset when being questioned about what was found during a consent search is not a withdrawal of consent. Boone v. State, 2008 Ga. App. LEXIS 1041 (September 23, 2008).* Landlord could not consent to a search of a trailer rented to a person the police were looking for. The arrest warrant was used as a search warrant. Looney v. State, 2008 Ga. App. LEXIS 1039 (September 23, 2008).* Handcuffed suspect could consent to a search of his car. Here, it was within 15 seconds. Maloy v. State, 2008 Ga. App. LEXIS 1033 (September 23, 2008).*
