WOOD, Judge (specially concurring). I do not join in the majority opinion because a review of the evidence simply is not called for in this case and because, in my opinion, there is nothing other than speculation as to the basis on which the police acted when they impounded the truck. I join in the result because of the two legal propositions stated in the majority opinion — (1) where the circumstances of a search and seizure are known to a defendant at the time of trial, the search and seizure issue is not cognizable under the New Mexico provisions for post-conviction relief, and (2) the record shows the search and seizure issue was raised and ruled on at Salazar’s trial. Accordingly, Salazar may not relitigate this issue in a post-conviction proceeding.
