If the police, in conducting a search of property, relied on the consent of a person who they reasonably, although mistakenly believed had the authority

If the police, in conducting a search of property, relied on the consent of a person who they reasonably, although mistakenly believed had the authority to give such consent, any evidence subsequently discovered will be:

1)

Admissible because the search is valid under the "apparent authority" doctrine.

2)

Inadmissible because only a person with authority over a piece of property can give valid consent for it to be searched.

3)

Admissible because the search is valid under a "joint authority" or "common authority" rationale.

4)

Inadmissible because when the police rely on consent in lieu of obtaining a warrant they do so at their own risk that the consent may be invalid.
