CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge
(concurring) :
I concur, but I do not think we need to rely on Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752, 89 S.Ct. 2034, 23 L.Ed.2d 685 (1969).
In my view, after Woods identified himself as William L. Brown and then Woods denied any knowledge of William L. Brown traffic warrants, officer Hastain had a duty and a right to find out who his “Brown” was. And, I include in his right an insistence upon seeing the contents of the wallet and the notebook where traditionally identifying materials are found. The facts are not Adams v. Williams, 407 U.S. 143, 92 S.Ct. 1921, 32 L.Ed.2d 612 (1972), but from it I get a message that will cover the facts of this case.
