Nomrally Not. Your Probation agreement usually states that you Probation Officer can search your home. But this could depend in your State, and what type of probation you're on (Sex or Drug offender vs. regular felony).

Can a probation officer lift a hold on you if you are in jail with new charges but not yet convicted?
If it is the probation officer's warrant then yes, but they probably will not. If it is the judge's warrant the probation officer cannot.
Does your probation officer have to tell you i have warrant before your next visit?
No. It is your probation officer's responsibilty to have you taken into custody on the warrant when you report. If your officer told you you have a warrant, then you may not report.
What should a Probation Officer do If a client makes threats toward him?
If the PO is not a sworn law enforcement officer themselves; report it to the police, or the court which supervises the probation, or swear out a warrant for the probationers arrest. If the PO is a sworn law enforcement officer, they have the option of either arresting the probationer or reporting the threats to the court - at their option.
Does a probation officer have the right to enter a house of the probationers grand parents without a warrant?
If that is where the probationer resides and/or spends the great majority of his time, yes. However, the probationer must be on the premises when they make their entry.
Can your home be searched if the police are looking for a person with a warrant for probation violation?
If they have 'reasonable cause to believe' that the person named in the warrant is in the residence, they may enter and look JUST FOR HIM. They may not conduct a search for anything else BUT, if during the search they see/observe any conduct, or any items, of an unlawful nature IN PLAIN SIGHT they may take proper enforcement actions arising from those 'plain sight' observations. In your probation contract it says that they can search you or your residence at any time, they don't even need a warrent.
Will a probation violation result in a warrant issued?
Possibly. Your probation officer has all the power. If they feel you are a danger to the community they CAN violate your probation and if you fail to come in voluntarly, a warrant will be issued.

Yes Yes
Can a probation officer look at a persons phone that is not on probation?
A police officer can request that anyone show him or her their phone. In the absense of a warrant, they generally are not obligated to comply with this request, but if they do, he or she may certainly look at it.
Can your probation officer search your parents room in your house?
Bottom line: yes. This above answer is totally wrong. If you live in a residence that you do not own (i.e your parents) then they are protected under their constitutional right to not be unreasonably searched. Precedent has said that the probation officer has only the right to search the probationers belongings (i.e room, vehicle, sometimes bathroom). Due to the fact that the owners are not under the authority granted to the probation officer under terms of the probation, this would be an illegal search - if your parents told him that he may not search any area of the house other than your belongings.
What happens when a police officer checks your drivers license when your on probation?
Nothing - Unless you are operating in violation of DMV restrictions (suspended or revoked) or are actively wanted on an open warrant) your probation status will be unknown to the officer.
Would you have an outstanding warrant if you moved out of state while on juvenile probation as a felony?
If you did not satisfy all the requirements of your probation, and did not seek the permission of the court to move out of state, and/or have your probation transferred to your new state of residence, yes, you probably do.
