VANDE WALLE, Chief Justice,
dissenting.
[¶ 81] I respectfully dissent. I agree with much of what Justice Sandstrom has written in dissent. I write specially to note that in light of the majority opinion, a trial court should henceforth not include in its sentence and probation order a condition of probation such as the one at issue *85here. Furthermore, it is unclear to me what, if any, such condition might survive the majority’s scrutiny. The unfortunate result is that without more specific guidance the effectiveness of probationary searches intended as a tool to prevent the probationer from further illegal activity is greatly reduced or even worthless.
