Opinion
Nos. 52757, 52826, 52850 and 52891.
July 26, 1979.
Consolidated petitions for writ of certiorari to the District Court of Appeal, Fourth District, Case Nos. 76-2010; 76-1377; 76-1663; and 76-924.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and James L. Eisenberg, Craig S. Barnard, Jerry L. Schwarz and Marc R. Goldstein, Asst. Public Defenders, West Palm Peach, for petitioners.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Charles A. Stampelos, Joy B. Shearer and Robert L. Bogen, Asst. Attys. Gen., West Palm Beach, for respondent.
The petitions for writ of certiorari were consolidated. We issued the writs and have heard argument of the parties. The issue is identical to the certified question answered by this court in Grubbs v. State, 373 So.2d 905 (Fla. 1979).
For the reasons expressed in our opinion in Grubbs, the district court decisions in these cases are quashed to the extent they approve the unilateral granting to law enforcement officers of additional authority to conduct warrantless searches of probationers. These cases are remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.
ENGLAND, C.J., and ADKINS, BOYD, OVERTON and SUNDBERG, JJ., concur.
