PER CURIAM
Reversed and remanded for new trial.
Van Hoomissen, J., specially concurring.
Defendant appeals his convictions for driving under the influence of intoxicants and possession of an open container. Former ORS 487.540; former ORS 487.841. He was stopped at a police roadblock during hours of darkness on a rural road in Clackamas County. He moved to suppress the evidence obtained at the roadblock on the ground that the stop and search violated constitutional prohibitions against warrantless searches and seizures. The trial court denied the motion. We reverse on the basis of our decision in Nelson v. Lane County, 79 Or. App. 753, 720 P.2d 1291, rev allowed 301 Or. 765 (1986).
Repealed by Or Laws 1983, ch 338, § 978 and reenacted as ORS 813.010.
Repealed by Or Laws 1983, ch 338, § 978 and reenacted as ORS 811.170.
Reversed and remanded for a new trial.
I agree with the result in this case, because this court has very recently spoken to the issue. Nelson v. Lane County, 79 Or. App. 753, 720 P.2d 1291, rev allowed 301 Or. 765 (1986). I write specially to note that, while I did not participate in the Nelson decision, had I done so, I would have agreed with the view expressed by Judge Richardson in his specially concurring opinion.
