OPINION
In this appeal we conclude that the unlawfulness of a suspicionless vehicle detention is not retroactively cured when one of the passengers turns out to be a probationer with a search condition.
Defendant Marcus Taylor Bates pleaded no contest to felony grand theft from a person (Pen. Code, § 487, subd. (c)) after he unsuccessfully moved to suppress evidence resulting from a traffic stop.
