Re: without concent

Under almost all circumstances, a warrant would be necessary to look in a locked locker. There are very few exeptions to a warrant requirement, and none of those exceptions would aoppear to apply here. There was no exigency or fear for officer's safety. It was also not a search incident to arrest.
