More details to this question:
We are from Illinois. My boyfriend was pulled over for a regular traffic stop. He had license and insurance. The police said they received an anonymous tip that he sells drugs so they wanted to search the car. He is on parole. I hired a private attorney to handle the case in which she said that she could beat because they didn't have probable cause to pull him over. If he beats thr case will be have to finish his parole time for violating it?

You can beat a criminal case, and still lose on the parole revocation. Motions to suppress only work against the charge itself. They don't really stop evidence from being used for other purposes. Doesn't mean a parole revocation is going to happen, but it still might.
