The People of the State of Colorado, Petitioner v. Susan Leigh Stock, Respondent — Gabriel, J., Dissenting

Summary

The dissent would reject the warrantless entry into Stock’s hotel room because neither Stock nor her father consented, her father lacked actual or apparent authority, and the record did not support inferring that Stock authorized him to admit the officer. It argues that Stock’s conduct after the entry could not retroactively establish consent and that the majority’s circumstances-based approach lacked a sufficiently clear limiting standard.
