Re: legal or illegal search

It depends. You will need to include more details for a better answer. For example, was there any contraband in plain view? Is the house know as a "drug" location? Were the police serving an arrest warrant? Was the person eventually arrested?

In sum, post a more thorough outline of the facts. I'd be more than happy to give you advice.
