CATES, Presiding Judge
(concurring specially).
I would reverse under Whiteley v. Warden of Wyoming Penitentiary, 401 U.S. 560, 91 S.Ct. 1031, 28 L.Ed.2d 306, wherein the court said:
“* * * jn SUpp01q of this proposition the State argues that a reviewing court should employ less stringent standards for reviewing a police officer’s assessment of probable cause as a prelude to a warrantless arrest than the court would employ in reviewing a magistrate’s assessment as a prelude to issuing an arrest or search warrant. That proposition has been consistently rejected by this Court. United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. [102], at 105-109, 85 S.Ct. [741], at 746, 13 L.Ed.2d 684 (1965); Aguilar v. Texas, 378 U.S. [108], at 110-111, 84 S.Ct. [1509], at 1511-1512, 12 L.Ed.2d 723 (1964); Jones v. United States, 362 U.S. [257], at 270-271, 80 S.Ct. [725], at 735-736, 4 L.Ed.2d 697 (1960). And the reason for its rejection is both fundamental and obvious: less stringent standards for reviewing the officer’s discretion in effecting a warrant-less arrest and search would discourage resort to the procedures for obtaining a warrant. Thus the standards applicable to the factual basis supporting the officer’s probable-cause assessment at the time of the challenged arrest and search are at least as stringent as the standards applied with respect to the magistrate’s assessment. See McCray v. Illinois, 386 *741U.S. 300, 304-305, 87 S.Ct. 1056, 1058-1059, 18 L.Ed.2d 62 (1967).” 401 U.S. 566, 91 S.Ct. 1035.
ON REHEARING
We have carefully considered the application for rehearing and deem that it should be overruled, and in further support of the views expressed in our original opinion, in part II thereof, we also wish to cite Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 91 S.Ct. 2022, 29 L.Ed.2d 564.
Application overruled.
CATES, P. J., and HARRIS and DeCARLO, JJ., concur.
