Cole, J.,

dissenting:

Whatever suspicion the police had was completely dissipated when the defendants entered their car and began to leave the scene. I, therefore, conclude that the police had no right to stop the defendants. It further seems to me that the Court engages in speculation in its effort to make the facts analogous with those of Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 88 S. Ct. 1868, 20 L. Ed. 2d 889 (1968). Once the stop is found to be unlawful, all the evidence which flowed therefrom is inadmissible. I respectfully dissent.
