1. ““There is another aspect of the case which the majority did not consider. This court decided Gates on the basis of the fourth amendment to the Constitution of the United States and article I, section 6, of the Constitution of Illinois. As was pointed out in both the majority opinion and Justice White’s concurrence in Gates, we are not required to blindly follow the action taken by the Supreme Court in determining the standards applicable under our own Constitution. In his eloquent dissent in Gates, Justice Brennan has stated far better than can I the reasons for *** retaining the tests and standards enunciated in Aguilar and Spinelli. I would retain those tests and standards as constitutional requirements in Illinois.” (Emphasis added.) 98 Ill. 2d at 157-58 (Goldenhersh, J., dissenting).”
