CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
Regretfully, I concur in the foregoing as I think I would have found myself obligated to do, in view of the modern precedents, in our recent case of Plazola v. United States, 291 F.2d 56, had I been a member of the division hearing that case.
I think I am as strong an opponent of “rough stuff” in law enforcement and of the “rap on the door in the night” as anyone. But there is nothing in the facts of Plazola and Contreras that offends my *67notions of decent law enforcement under the Fourth Amendment. What would deter and what would discourage a good enforcement officer more than these decisions, I do not know.
