Police cannot conduct a warrantless search in a home where one occupant consents and the other objects. Decided March 22, 2006 (argued November 8, 2005). Opinion of the Court: David Souter → go there Dissenting: Roberts, Scalia, Thomas. Applied: the Fourth Amendment → go there Topic: Fourth Amendment rights. Georgia v. Randolph, 547 U.S. 103 (2006), is a case in which the U.S. Supreme Court held that without a search warrant, police had no constitutional right to search a house where one resident consents to the search while another resident objects. The Court distinguished this case from the "co-occupant consent rule" established in United States v. Matlock, 415 U.S. 164 (1974), which permitted one resident to consent in absence of the co-occupant. Wiki link
