1. “The Supreme Court [Washington] in State v. Shoemaker, supra [ 85 Wash.2d 207 , 533 P.2d 123 (1975)] ruled that a search by consent was proper notwithstanding the possible illegality of the original entry or arrest of the defendant. Two other cases are illustrative of this point. In Bretti v. Wainwright, 439 F.2d 1042 (5th Cir.1971), cert. denied 404 U.S. 943 , 92 S.Ct. 293 , 30 L.Ed.2d 257 (1971), the court upheld a consensual search in spite of the claimed illegality of the arrest, stating that warning of the defendant's rights help insure that the consent is free and voluntary and untainted by the possible illegality of the arrest. In United States v. Troutman, 590 F.2d 604 (5th Cir.1979), a consensual search followed an illegal detention where the defendant freely consented after being advised of his right to allow or refuse to allow the search.”
