The following excerpt is from People v. Superior Court, 109 Cal.Rptr. 143, 33 Cal.App.3d 523 (Cal. App. 1973):
3 The propriety of the officers' decision not to seize the hashish immediately, but to follow the consignee in hope of obtaining further evidence is not questioned in this proceeding. It is permissible to allow contraband to reach its destination. (Chapman v. United States (10th Cir. 1971) 443 F.2d 917, 920; United States v. Beckley (6th Cir. 1964) 335 F.2d 86, 90.)
