The opinion
KENNARD, J.
I concur generally in the majority opinion. There is, however, one aspect with which I disagree: Unlike the majority, I would not reach out to disapprove the Court of Appeal’s decision in Meyer v. City of Oakland (1980) 107 Cal.App.3d 770 [ 166 Cal.Rptr. 79 ]. (See maj. opn., ante, at pp. 452-453.) As the majority acknowledges, this case is readily distinguishable from Meyer. (Id., at p. 452.) That distinction renders it *457 unnecessary to resolve the difficult question of whether Meyer was correctly decided, an issue I would leave for another day when it is squarely presented.
Werdegar, J., and Moreno, J., concurred.
