Commonwealth v. Monte , 459 Pa. 495 ( 1974 )

ROBERTS, Justice

(concurring).

I am unable to agree that appellants’ reputations and previous arrests not culminating in convictions may be considered in determining the existence of probable cause to conduct a search. See Commonwealth v. Gullett, 459 Pa. 431, 444, 329 A.2d 513, 519 (1974) (dissenting opinion of Roberts, J.). I concur in the result solely because, in my view, the informer’s tip as corroborated by subsequent police surveillance supplied an adequate basis for a finding of probable cause.
