ELKINGTON, J.
I concur.
Concurring generally with my esteemed colleagues’ opinion, I respectfully withhold my approval of its last paragraph.
Any question asked by a policeman of anyone, might lead to evidence of crime. Paraphrasing the opinion, I feel a certain uneasiness about its dicta suggesting a rule calculated to deny the increasingly criminally victimized public the right to further investigation of crime upon accepted Miranda and other constitutional standards, except at the cost of exposing every motorist stopped, as here, for a minor traffic violation, to the frightening litany of a Miranda warning.
Appellant’s petition for a hearing by the Supreme Court was denied December 30, 1981.
