DICKSON, Justice,
dissenting.
I am deeply concerned that the majority opinion may be misread by some as condoning the use of force during police interrogation. If so, conduct which the majority today tolerates as a smack on the arm will be urged to justify tomorrow’s slap in the face, or worse. Inquisitional interrogation, abominable under our system of justice, is absolutely intolerable.
I confidently expect that today’s ruling will be a mere aberration, and that future decisions will steadfastly hold that resort to physical force or violence during police interrogation necessarily compels the exclusion of resulting evidence.
DeBRULER, J., concurs.
