## Opinion text

PAPADAKOS, Justice,
concurring.
I join the majority opinion because I perceive its holding to apply only to situations arising before the Pennsylvania Crime Commission “which has neither legislative, executive, nor judicial powers [but] whose sole purpose is the gathering and disseminating of information about suspected criminal activity.” Opinion, p. 231.
NIX, C.J., and FLAHERTY and McDERMOTT, JJ., join in this concurring opinion.
