The same thing that happens to everyone else. They lose certain rights and priveledges such as possessing firearms, not being able to vote, etc. They may even lose their medical license depending on the rules of the medical board they are a part of.

If he is deputized with law enforcement officer status in your state, the PO may arrest anyone he witnesses committing a felony or class A misdemeanor. If he has not been deputized, he may detain criminal violators until local jurisdiction law enforcement arrives.

Can a convicted felon serve on a board in the state of New York?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

convicted felons have essentially the same rights as those who have no conviction record with the exception to voting in some states, and possession of "firearms." The one right that is never discussed to which former felons have no right is protection from discrimination. So, while there is no specific law prohibiting a felon from serving on a board (provided that board is not over a healthcare facility or a school), the organization, business, minicipality, state or federal government can prohibit any felon from serving for no other purpose than that person was previously convicted. While felons have essentially the same rights as other citizens, they do not have the same protections.

How many people can be on state parole at one house?

User Avatar

Asked by Relljblack

Without the approval of the Parole Officer(s) supervising the people on parole, only one. The odds of a PO permitting more than one parolee to reside at one address is slim unless the residence is a halfway or three-quarter house.

Yes. Until your next life, if you believe in reincarnation. A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or be allowed access to firearms, ammunition, or body armor, and it remains that way for the duration of their lifetime.

Can you find out who visits your husband in Prison?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sure, by asking him. The prison will not give out this information. You might try a FOIA request to your state's Department of Corrections, but it is unlikely they will release the info.

Can probation officers enter your house if it is locked?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Do you have example of parole support letters?

Asked by Wiki User

Support letters are very personal and should not be based too much on an example. I did find one article that addresses this and contained a good example and very good suggestions.

If you are on probation in state of California and you cross into another state what can happen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To start, this must be approved by your probation officer. If your probation officer will not approve it you can not leave.

If your probation officer will approve it, they will need to request that the probation department of another state accept you for probation supervision in their state. Your current probation officer will have to request this through a process called "Interstate Compact."

If and when another state accepts you, you will be assigned a new probation officer in your new state.

There are potential complications if you are approved as well. The judge from the state that convicted you has little power to enforce the terms of your probation agreement. That means the probation department in the state you move to can impose any conditions that they consider to be appropriate. For example, if a Judge in the state that convicted you did not require a treatment program for your offense the new states probation department may or they may make your live miserable in other ways by imposing restrictions that make it difficult do do almost anything at all. When they impose these restrictions there is little you can do about it because they will not take orders from your home state judge since it is out of their jurisdiction.

If you are considering moving out of state while on probation and without approval, I would highly advise against that. This would be a violation of your probation and would likely get you arrested.

If you are on probation and get charged with a misdemeanor will you violate probation when you get charged or when you get convicted?

User Avatar

The court can file a violation of probation and revoke your probation, then issue a warrant for your arrest. Most states will extradite you for a misdemeanor anywhere within that state, but maybe not in another state. Then again, they might extradite you from another state.

How much time do you get for probation violation on a misdemeanor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, first you must deal with the parole violation. Chances are you will be returned to prison. Then there will be a hearing to determine whether you will be required to finish out the original sentence. During this time, you may be charged with the misdemeanor, if charges are filed, you may be tried, and if found guilty sentenced. The judge may determine to let you serve the time for the new charge concurrent with the original sentence, OR you may be required to be remanded to the county jail of jurisdiction once you have been discharged from prison.

Can a probation officer not let you go to church?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Getting baptized would , I imagine, not be a lot different to if you weren't on probation. That might differ according to denomination. The ones I am familiar with would want to know that there had been a real, life-changing turn around since the crime occurred, assuming you were rightly convicted. Baptism usually follows an acceptance that Jesus was really who He said he was and is your personal Saviour. Repentance, or being truly sorry for any sins done ( and all of us have them, convicted by a court or not!) would be a pre- requisite to baptism in many churches. If there is a church you would like to join, ask what their policy is. I wish you well.
