SCHRODER, J.,
concurring, in part, and dissenting, in part:
I concur with the majority in all but one area — the search of the bedroom. When Payton asked for the search warrant and was told that Sharon had already consented to the search, the officer’s response created the false impression (even though no bad faith was alleged) that Payton could not revoke any prior consent, contrary to Georgia v. Randolph. Thus, I believe that Payton’s subsequent response, “fine” or “well okay,” could not be construed as consent and that his asking if the officer had a search warrant effectively revoked Sharon’s earlier consent.
