Eduardo Amador-Gonzalez v. United States

COLEMAN, Circuit Judge

(concurring in the result):

I concur in the result and in all of the opinion except portions of Part III, particularly Section B thereof. As always, Judge Wisdom has written a most thorough, scholarly opinion. In my view, however, the decisive point is that as to traffic violations the arrest in this case was pretextual. We do not, therefore, reach, and it is unnecessary to express an opinion on, the validity or invalidity of searches executed when an officer does make a bona fide arrest for a traffic violation committed in his presence.
