If your room is completely separate from your brother and your brother does NOT have access to your room then the PO cannot search your room. The PO is authorized to search your brother's room and ALL common areas such as the living room, kitchen, bathroom, etc.
Yes, they can come into your room. They can search throughout his place of living.
If the probation officer is conducting the search then he must be there for it. Every state has its own procedures for conducting searches on their probation clients. Police generally cannot assist probation officers with their search, but probation officers can assist police with theirs. But police must still have a search warrant, while probation officers don't-- IF such search is allowed as part of the subject's condition of the probation. In practice, however, probation officers don't help police with their search because they can easily and unknowingly contaminate the evidence or crime scene. Probation officers' searches generally have a different purpose than police searches. If you're asking if the subject's probation officer must be there to conduct a search, then generally yes, they cannot substitute another probation officer for the subject's assigned PO.
well in Utah the probation officers can only search the person who is on probation also the probation officer can only search the rooms that the probationer has axcest to they cannot search the probationers wife or girlfriends purse or persons unless he has probable cause to do so and yes that goes for Idaho also
If you're on probation then they have the right to enter your home. Also if they have a search warrent.
Police officer with a search warrant can search any home regardless of the situation.
If accompanied by or at the direction of your probation officer, any law enforcement officer may search your home. On probation, you are still in custody. It is only the conditions of that custody that are altered. Probation is a conditional release, and one of the standard conditions is that you, your residence, and your vehicle are subject to periodic and potentially unannounced search.
Actually, unsworn officers do not search homes. Crime scene technicians, who may not actually be sworn officers, take photographs and collect evidence that were found by the detectives or police officers.Added: If the question is referring to Probation/Parole Officers, you will find that in most (all?) states they ARE sworn officers and they do have the authority to make unannounced visits to their "client's" residences to ensure that they are adhering to the provisions of their release.
NoAnother View: Parole/Probation Officers when performing routine checks on the 'clients' assigned to them DO have the authority to perform a search of that individuals residence in order to determine whether the 'client' is obeying the conditions of their release.
No.
Yes, if he believes there he has reasonable suspicion that you are hiding something that is illegal. You have to realize that while on probation, you are still in custody. For all intents and purposes, you are in jail while on probation. You simply have the revokable privilege of living outside.
I did a search in Trovit's salary tool and found that the average is $81,000. I will attach the link below so that you can see the salary tool and search for probation officer job listings as well.
Officers have the right to search person as long as they can show propable cause.
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.
