How later courts describe this case

  • holding that "[w]hat is observable by the general public [is] observable without a warrant by the police as well"
  • “In the absence of any deception, coercion, or other overreaching on the part of the police, Lace’s belief in the inevitability of a search warrant, a justifiable belief under the circumstances, did not preclude a finding that his consent was voluntary.”

Citator

UpLaw has not yet analyzed Lace v. United States. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.
