    STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Tony Topha JONES a/k/a Tony Tyrone Jones, Appellee.
    No. 87-1693.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Jan. 11, 1989.
    Certification Granted Feb. 8, 1989.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Eddie J. Bell, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Gary Caldwell, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   LETTS, Judge.

This case involves yet another bus search, the trial judge holding that the presence of officers standing over a defendant in a bus is per se coercive. We reverse.

The trial judge’s granting of the motion to suppress was entered before this court’s recent en banc decision in State v. Avery, 531 So.2d 182 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988). In his order, Judge Carlisle remarked that he did not reach the issue of consent, and that “[w]hile one may be free to ignore police officers and Hari Krishnas with equal vig- or on an airport concourse, it is considerably more difficult for a seated passenger within the narrow confines of a bus to ignore two police officers standing over and questioning him.” We have sympathy for that point of view. Clearly, however, it is not in accord with the current state of the law and we must reverse this cause and remand for proceedings in accordance with Avery.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

HERSEY, C.J., concurs.

GLICKSTEIN, J., concurs specially with opinion.

GLICKSTEIN, Judge,

concurring specially.

I am obligated to join in the conclusion because of this court’s en banc decision in State v. Avery, 531 So.2d 182 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988).

BY ORDER OF THE COURT:

ORDERED that Appellee’s January 25, 1989 motion for certification is granted. The following question is certified to the Supreme Court of Florida:

MAY EVIDENCE, OBTAINED AS A RESULT OF DEFENDANT’S CONSENT TO SEARCH, BE SUPPRESSED BY THE TRIAL COURT AS “COERCED” UPON THE SOLE GROUND THAT THE OFFICER(S) BOARDED A BUS (OR OTHER PUBLIC TRANSPORT) AND RANDOMLY SOUGHT CONSENT FROM PASSENGERS?
