“the consent of one who possesses common authority over the premises ... is valid as against the... nonconsenting person with whom the authority is shared.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"Warrantless arrest in the accused's home is not permissible absent exigent circumstances or consent to enter. Payton v. New York , 445 U.S. 573 , 576 , 100 S.Ct. 1371 , 1374 , 63 L.Ed.2d 639 (1980). '[T]he consent of one who possesses common authority over the premises . . . is valid as against the absent, nonconsenting person with whom the authority is shared.' United States v. Matlock , 415 U.S. 164 , 170 , 94 S.Ct. 988 , 993 , 39 L.Ed.2d 242 (1974). We have previously held that the third party consent must be voluntarily given to be valid and binding against the accused. E.g., United States v. Patterson , 554 F.2d 852 , 854 (8th Cir. 1977) (per curiam). Whether the consent is truly voluntary is to be determined by the totality of the circumstances. Schneckloth v. Bustamonte , 412 U.S. 218 , 226 , 93 S.Ct. 2041 , 2047 , 36 L.Ed.2d 854 (1973)." United States v. Purham , 725 F.2d 450 , 455 (8th Cir. 1984).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The initiation of judicial criminal proceedings is far from a mere formalism. It is the starting point of our whole system of adversary criminal justice. For it is only then that the government has committed itself to prosecute, and only then that the adverse positions of government and defendant have solidified. It is then that a defendant finds himself faced with the prosecutorial forces of organized society, and immersed in the intricacies of substantive and procedural criminal law. It is this point, therefore, that marks the commencement of the “criminal prosecutions” to which alone the explicit guarantees of the Sixth Amendment are applicable. In this case we are asked to import into a routine police investigation an absolute constitutional guarantee historically and rationally applicable only after the onset of formal prosecutorial proceedings. We decline to do so.”
