@freemo I'm not a lawyer, but from what I've read this is kind of suspect:

| "(Mrs. Caniglia’s consent to have the police search their home was legally negated because the police untruthfully told her that her husband had consented to the seizure of any guns.) " |

Police can lie to you in the course of enforcing the law. I'd want to see a source on this because Forbes is not a lawyer either.

@blucrunch The olice can not lie to you to force you to hand over your legally owned handguns though, so I wouldnt say that applies here, not that I'm a lawyer either.

@freemo @blucrunch This might be one of those rare situations where the pedantic distinction between can and may is actually important.
