( Casares , supra , 62 Cal.4th at p. 838 , 198 Cal.Rptr.3d 167 , 364 P.3d 1093 ["The detention being unlawful, the subsequent searches of defendant's person and the car he had been sitting in were also unlawful."].) We agree with the trial court that there was no reasonable suspicion to detain and hence no probable cause to arrest.
