to the warrant requirement under federal law, the court “must proceed to examine whether there is any compelling reason why [the] consent should not constitute an exception as well to the warrant requirement of Article II, Section 10 of the New Mexico Constitution”). (1) Federal Analyses Are Not Flawed {31} Defendant does not argue that the federal analyses are flawed and our review of Griffin and Knights reveals no flaws.
