...volunteer to cruise the second balcony for the afternoon, expecting, and getting, relative quiet. The doors are securely locked, and the only duty is a periodic check in the washrooms. I suspect that nobody hides in washrooms anymore because it's so simple. They know that we know that it's the first place to look. In the spirit of investigation, though, I checked the rest rooms every half hour or so, very smoothly; creeping up on the rest rooms, a quick trip through, peering under the stall doors, and then out.

The suspect failed to get out of the car as ordered, so the officer reached through the window and found the gun where the tipster said it would be. (The car was subsequently searched and narcotics found in it.) The officer's action under these circumstances, said Rehnquist, "was designed to ensure his safety...
