Mr. Justice Clark,

concurring: Since ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‍the Court finds that the “spiked” mike used by the police officers ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‍penetrated petitioner’s premises sufficiently to be an actual trespass thereof, I join ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‍in the judgment.
