Problem:
Officer Hassall of the Seattle Police Department was investigating a series of burglaries allegedly committed by Mac Miscreant, an employee of Spike's Motorcycle Repair Shop. Hassall went to Spike's place of business and requested that he be permitted to search the premises. Spike refused to grant permission for a general search of the premises but allowed Hassall to search a locker Spike let Miscreant use in which Hassall found burglar tools and property listed by the police as stolen. Hassall then demanded that he be permitted to conduct a complete search of the entire premises. Spike once again refused to grant consent, but Hassall nevertheless conducted a complete search of the premises. During his search, Hassall broke into a locked storage room and found a laboratory manufacturing fentanyl pills for which Spike did not have a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional. Spike was cited for violation of state narcotics laws.
