Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

They can seaarch wherever you are, that is within your access and control. It is up to the 'circumstances' how far that extends when you are in someone else's home. If you admit you have a 'room' of your own there, and not just a one time visitor, then you probably have normal access to the rest of the living area of the house. There is always the right to file an evidence suppression motion and let the court decide if it was 'legal'.
