“We do not hold that police must invariably seek consent from the suspect before relying on a third party's consent. However, when the police intentionally bypass a suspect who is present and known by them to possess a superior privacy interest, the validity of a third party consent is less certain.... Where a suspect is present and objecting to a search, implied consent by a third party with an inferior privacy interest is ineffective.”
