I would think this is all voluntary but it made me wonder...
I personally wouldn't say no but if I had a bunch of pot plants in the backyard or a meth lab in the garage, I might reconsider that.
Yep, the residents can decline a search unless police have a warrant (which they probably don't in this instance).
I've seen a lot of frustration from people following missing child cases when residents refuse to let LE search their homes or property, but it's their right in those cases too.
