Dissenting Opinion
Arterburn, C.J.
I dissent from the majority opinion in this case for the reason that Trooper Evans asked for permission to search defendant’s automobile, so far as what he had placed above the sun visor and defendant freely and voluntarily gave his consent.
It appears to me that if a police officer may not investigate or search a car after consent is given as in this case, there is no case under the law in Indiana, in which a police officer may search an automobile after consent is given.
Givan, J., concurs.
Note. — Reported in 279 N. E. 2d 196.
