The part of this story I like is that police asked permission to search him ..... and then he gave that permission. Had he not, I wonder what the outcome would have been.

I'm pretty sure they asked his permission after they completed the search. Anyone noticed that the credit card numbers,however from different banks, show a lot of similarities?
