“Searches and seizures conducted without a warrant are per se unreasonable unless they fit within one of several well defined exceptions. [Authorities] Therefore, absent a warrant, the burden is on the State to demonstrate that the officers’ action were lawful. [Authorities] Consent is one such exception. [Authorities]. The consent must be freely and voluntarily given and not a mere submission to authority. [Authority.]”
