The following excerpt is from Miller v. Superior Court, 127 Cal.App.3d 494, 179 Cal.Rptr. 783 (Cal. App. 1981):
The Attorney General respectfully submits that People v. Pace, supra, 92 Cal.App.3d 199, 154 Cal.Rptr. 811, is a "disaster" and that we should repudiate "to the extent that it suggests that a paper bag (in the possession of) an arrestee may not be searched without a warrant."
