Court Can't Decide Whether Home Is Castle

Letter to the Editor In Georgia v. Randolph , 126 S.Ct. 413 (March 22, 2006), the U.S. Supreme Court majority ruled that the Fourth Amendment is violated where the police conduct a search of a house with the consent of an occupant, if a co-occupant has objected to the search. I don't necessarily have a problem with this rule though I think the dissent had the better analysis.
