Description
The question central to this case is whether the convictions of respondents, defendants below, resulting from the use of evidence which they contend was illegally searched for and seized by officers, can stand. The District Court of Appeal, Second District, reversed the convictions, and held that the evidence was obtained as a result of an unreasonable search and seizure. The District Court of Appeal also held that the defendants could conditionally plead nolo contendere. The opinion of the District Court of Appeal, reported at 228 So.2d 400 (Fla.App.2d, 1969), is in conflict with prior appellate decisions of this State, including the opinion of this Court in Falcon v. State, 226 So.2d 399 (Fla.1969), and the decision of the District Court of Appeal, Third District, in City of Miami Beach v. Eason, 194 So.2d 652 (Fla.App.3rd, 1967). The State petitioned for certiorari to the District Court of Appeal. We have jurisdiction.
