(Brennan, J.,
dissenting).
It, indeed, may be and perhaps is the perception of a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court that the necessities of law enforcement require a more flexible view of the fourth amendment. The result may be a more orderly society. We shall also be a less free society.
In my judgment, as Sir Thomas More is reputed to have told Roper, we have one less tree to shield us from the devil. I propose that rather than blindly allowing the “ ‘continuing evisceration of Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures,’ ” id., we adopt a standard based on *776the Nebraska Constitution and offer such protection as we may in the courts of Nebraska.
Shanahan, J., joins in this concurrence.
