## Opinion text

CLAYTON, Justice,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent from that part of the majority opinion regarding the search of appellant’s automobile. I see no reason why § 10 of the Kentucky Constitution should be interpreted so as to impose a more stringent standard than the Fourth Amendment of the Federal Constitution.
