## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- finding a search pretextual where traffic warrant used as pretense to arrest suspect and search him for marijuana because suspect would not ordinarily have been placed in custody for the traffic offense
- finding arrest on warrant for failure to signal and faulty brake lights used as mere excuse to search appellant for marijuana cigarettes
- finding the defendant's arrest a pretext because of the officers' failure to follow "ordinary procedure" and the timing of the arrest

## Opinion text

CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge
(concurring) .
Here we have “rough stuff” and I join in striking it down. Without indulging in explanation, I regard the *268 result here as wholly consistent with our case of Blackford v. United States, 247 F.2d 745 .
In as simple a case as this, I see no harm in not holding that a motion to suppress was necessary, but I do not believe the case should be taken as authority that a motion to suppress is never necessary.
