Probation officers have different powers in each state. Here in Louisiana, felony probation officers are fully commissioned POST certified, gun toting police officers with full powers of any police officer. You can get into probable cause issues though. Not only is every state different, every judicial court system within the state seems to lean different ways in it's interpretation of the laws.
Okay, to simplify this: yes, in some states POs are law enforcement officers. In all states they are representatives of the state and court officers. As such, any activites in which they engage with others who are not under their supervision falls under the Constitution. That is, without very specific probable cause or a warrant, they have no search or siesure authority over anyone.
If confronted, say nothing, simply do not speak, and call an attorney.
If i'm on probation and my doctor referred me to a substance abuse evaluation. Will they notify my probation officer?
no -.- druggy
Hell no
yes you will pass your drug test no worries ;) i've already done it
Yes. He can ask them to step into the other room, but he can still test you.
No, It will not show up on a drug test. I smoke spice everyday being on probation and I passed all my drug tests.
is a home drug test the same test probation uses
Most likely, yeah.
As a officer of the court ,I would remand the parolee back to jail for resentencing.
in all of the ones I've taking from my probation officer and drug clinic, yes.
Yes, they both belong in the opiate category.
Depends on your probation officer- it's their call. But a weak negative could just also be a defect in the test used. Most companies that sell drug tests will tell you that a weak negative is still passing, no matter how faint the line. There is no such thing as weak negative. A test is either positive (drug metabolite present in sample) or negative (no drug metabolite present in sample). A line on an on-site test is read as negative no matter how faint.
