| Court: | US Supreme Court |
| Facts: | Drayton is riding on a bus, and foolishly consents to be searched. |
| Posture: | Motions to suppress his drugs, the usual. |
| Issue: | Was consent involuntary, and do police have to make it clear that you have the right to refuse? |
| Holding: | No and no. |
| Rule: | There's no one overriding factor that the government needs to establish as the sign of effective consent. |
| Reasoning: | We're not having per se requirements for consent. The fact that the police are asking indicates that a reasonable person would understand that refusal was a possibility. Again, it's the totality of the circumstances. |
