What is the name of your state? Colorado
The police came to my son's door (he is an adult). They said they recieved a 911 hangup call from his fax machine - he doesnt have a fax machine and told them this. They asked if they could come in and look around. My son said, "I'd rather you didn't". They came in anyway and proceded to search. When they got to his roommates bedroom door, my son said, "you can't go in there, It belongs to my roommate who isn't home." At that point they arrested him. Then they found ONE pill of "extacy", which my son didn't know was in the house. It had been left by a former roommate 6 months earlier.
Can they search his house even after they asked and he said No? Was my son legally right to say he could not give them permission to enter a roommates room?
We later found out that the 911 call came from a high school 9 miles away and had nothing to do with my son. My son got a felony charge deferred sentance with 4 years probation.
