J.F. v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Council v. State, 442 So.2d 1072 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983).

Dissenting Opinion

BASKIN, Judge

(dissenting).

I am unwilling to agree with the majority that whenever the police observe an individual holding “a manila envelope,” probable cause exists to arrest the individual for possession of marijuana. In my view, the majority holding violates basic constitutional guarantees. U.S. Const, amends. IV, XIV. I therefore dissent.
