The opinion

NIX, Justice

(dissenting).

In the instant case appellee was subpoenaed before a grand jury investigating alleged corruption in a Philadelphia Police Department. I believe that § 640.1 1 was not designed to grant immunity to citizens allegedly involved in individual acts of corruption; rather to investigate the vast networks of true conspiratorial activity by those involved in organized crime. Therefore, I dissent for the reasons expressed in Part II of my dissent in In re Falone, 464 Pa. 42 , 346 A.2d 9 (1975).

. Act of November 22, 1968, P.L. 1080, 19 P.S. § 640.1 et seq. (Supp.1974-75).
