1Opinion of the CourtJustice Pringle
The defendant below, John Frederick Wilson, was convicted of possession of heroin and conspiracy to possess heroin. He brings error here.
On December 28, 1960, three members of the Denver Police Department had the apartment building in which Wilson and his wife lived under surveillance. They saw a car containing three women drive away from the apartment house, and decided to stop it because they “thought there was a possibility there was dope in the car.” They found no narcotics in it, but decided to go to the Wilsons’ apartment anyway. They had neither search nor arrest warrants.
