1Opinion of the CourtBoyle, J.
In this case, an undercover police agent obtained entry into the defendant’s home by feigning car trouble and asking to use the telephone. During the half-hour that the agent was in the home, the defendant offered her marijuana which the two smoked. The agent left, and a search warrant was obtained on the basis of evidence of criminal activities obtained by the agent while in the home. The Court of Appeals held that probable cause was required to support a ruse entry such as the one in this case. Because we find no violation of the Michigan or the United States Constitution, we reverse.
