The opinion
KAUFMAN, Circuit Judge
(concurring) :
I have some doubts about the basis upon which the administrative arrest warrant issued in this case. Thus I prefer to concur on the ground that Randazzo’s admission that he consorted with criminals sufficed to provide probable cause for his subsequent arrest, and that the search following it was acceptable— though marginally so — under pre-Chimel law.
