The police see James standing at a bus stop on a downtown street, in an area
where there is extensive drug dealing. The officers ask James if they can look in his bag
and he says yes. They open the bag and find drugs. Is this a legal search? Why?
What if James says no? Are the cops allowed to open his bag and search it? Why?
What constitutional amendments should you rely on to answer?
