DENNIS, Justice,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent, La., 389 So.2d 42 .
The information received from the confidential informant failed to meet the standards for trustworthiness laid down by the United States Supreme Court in Aguilar v. Texas, 378 U.S. 108 , 84 S.Ct. 1509 , 12 L.Ed.2d 723 (1964) and Spinelli v. United States, 393 U.S. 410 , 89 S.Ct. 584 , 21 L.Ed.2d 637 (1969). Thus, the initial seizure of the defendant was unconstitutional. Moreover, even if the seizure were proper, the search of the suitcase without a warrant was unlawful in light of United States v. Chadwick, 433 U.S. 1 , 97 S.Ct. 2476 , 53 L.Ed.2d 538 (1977).
