They consented to the search, idiots.
Not a LEO here, but I bet the odor was more than obvious and the officer would have found probable cause to search anyway.
I ask for consent even when I don't need it (have PC and an exception to the warrant requirement, etc.) If my PC is later found defective or insufficient, "consent" is fall-back.
As a general rule, we don't catch the smart ones.
