*1138CORRIGAN, J., Concurring.
I concur in the judgment; I agree with the majority that, regardless of the expired registration tab and the temporary operating permit, the missing license plate justified the traffic stop in this case.
I write separately to note my disagreement with the proposition that Saunders, as a passenger, was not detained at the inception of the stop. (Maj. opn., ante, p. 1134.) I would hold that Saunders was detained at that point; he had been deprived of his freedom of movement and was subject to the officers’ control. (See People v. Brendlin (2006) 38 Cal.4th 1107 (dis. opn. of Corrigan, J.).)
Werdegar, J., and Moreno, J., concurred.
On July 26, 2006, the opinion was modified to read as printed above.
