BIRD, C. J.
I concur in Justice Mosk’s opinion for the court, except that I would rest the holding on article I, section 13 of the California Constitution. The arrest in this case was made long before the effective date of Proposition 8. Without expressing any opinion as to the effect of that measure on the “independent state grounds” doctrine (see People v. Brisendine (1975) 13 Cal.3d 528, 548-552 [119 Cal.Rptr. 315, 531 P.2d 1099]), it is clear that in this case, the court is free to rely on the state constitutional *553provision prohibiting unreasonable seizures and searches. (See People v. Smith (1983) ante, pp. 251, 258, 263 [193 Cal.Rptr. 692, 667 P.2d 149].)
Respondent’s petition for a rehearing was denied October 6, 1983.
