I am not qualified to be a former prosecutor, defense lawyer, cop, or supreme court justice... but this decision surprises me, and I would guess there's more to it than covered in an 8 minute video.

But I AM qualified to be a potential juror, and I suspect a "reasonable person" would assume (based JUST on the information in the video) that consent to search typically would not mean "but you can't look inside specific boxes". That's apparently not how they ruled, but again, I suspect there's more to it.

I think the relevant phrase, ESPECIALLY if you have something that is or may be illegal in your possession is, "I do NOT consent to a search." If you do consent, it boggles my mind that you would then object that you didn't give consent to look somewhere specific. Maybe that's just me. Interested in hearing other opinion/arguments.
