The People of the State of Colorado v. Aaron Peluso

Summary

The court held that parole officers reasonably believed the defendant's girlfriend resided at his home and therefore had apparent authority to consent to a warrantless search under her parole conditions. The court also held that the defendant's hypothetical or delayed objection could not invalidate the search because officers reasonably believed they were searching the girlfriend's residence and the search had already begun when they contacted him. The court reversed the suppression order and remanded for further proceedings.
