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.

Does federal probation test for neurontin?

Federal probation does not typically test specifically for Neurontin (gabapentin) in standard drug screenings. However, if there is specific reason to suspect misuse or if a probation officer deems it necessary, they may request a more comprehensive test that could include gabapentin. It's important for individuals on probation to disclose any prescription medications to their probation officer. Always consult with a legal professional for personalized guidance.
