Can someone on methadone treatment be denied their medication if on probation?
This may depend upon the nature of the underlying offense for which the person was put on probation. However, most standard terms of probation require that the probationer only take drugs with a valid physician prescription. If a physician prescribes methadone - whether for chronic pain relief or for heroin withdrawal - it should be fine. The best course of action would be to obtain the prescription and provide a copy of it to the assigned probation officer. It's also okay to just ask the probation officer outright.

It all depends on the charge you went to prison and how extensive your criminal record is.

I suggest you talk to your local recruiter for more information and a definete answer on weather or not you can enlist. I hope this helped. Aaron B. U.S.M.C.

Can a felon own a weapon in Arizona and if so which ones?
Felons in all states are not allowed to use firearms or have them in their possession.
The person who left the above answer fail to clarify that they are talking about federal law. State law varies from state to state. Arizona is one state where it is possible for felons to have their gun rights restored. Granted after having those rights restored Arizona state law enforcment can't arrest you for carrying a firearm but if you run into a federal law enforcement officer they can, but how often do you realy run into the feds! Besides you would end up in Az state court, case dismissed! Short answer, YES a convicted felon CAN carry a firearm in Arizona IF he has had his gun rights restored

Is there a site where you can find out if you live near a pedophile?
There is no easy answer for this. Media hype, paranoia, and simple mass hysteria will argue the points below, but the science is out there, and data does not lie.
Many would say check your state's Sex Offender Registry, but this is not an accurate representation. Not all people on the Registries are or can be categorized as sexual predators. Some were simply teenagers caught up in consensual sexual experimentation. Some were wrongfully accused (it is not uncommon to make an accusation rather than to fight a custody battle--just one illustration). Some were convicted as a result of "buyer's remorse." Many found themselves on the registry for activities as benign as urinating outside. The problem arises in that it is often difficult to know why anyone on the Registries is on the Registries, and it is a very bad practice to make decisions based on faulty, confusing, incomplete, or inaccurate information.
The simplest solution is to take personal precautions with yourself and your children, but not to jump to conclusions.
If it helps, as far as statistics can, those convicted of sexual offenses are the second least likely to re-offend (those convicted of murder are the least likely, and the next most likely are those convicted of robbery or larceny at 67%), nationally about 5%. Of those, fully 87% are the most serious and violent offenders (abductors, serial rapists), and flashers. To put that in terms of raw data (extrapolated from DoJ Bureau of Statistics data):
At the beginning of 2011 there were approximately 750,000 people on the Internet Sex Offender Registries in the 50 US states and the territories that maintain one. Five percent of that is 37,500 (Just over 1% of the population). Of that, 87% is 32,625, just under 1%. Now, keep in mind that the average time incarcerated for these types of crimes--the most serious--(flashers notwithstanding) is about 27.5 years, many are in prison for life. The odds of you coming into contact with an actual sexual predator is about 1:100, at least a convicted one.
That being said, you have to take into account other data (gathered from the American Psychological Association). The incidence of sexual abuse is greater in familial and close relationships. For as long as the phenomenon has been tracked, the rate of sexual abuse of children and adults, male and female has hovered around 80% of all sexually based offenses. Many are perpetrated for years before being reported. However, once reported and addressed (psychologically and/or criminally) the rate of recidivism (repeat offenses) is nearly zero. Repeat offenses do happen; however the rate at which they happen is directly related to treatment received, both quality and duration, for the offenders and the victims.
A conclusive comparison: you are 800 times more likely to be sexually assaulted by a family member or close associate (friend, neighbor, colleague) who has never been convicted of a sexual offense than you are by someone who has been previously convicted.
In short (and with no small amount of dark humor), where you go to find out if you have a sexual predator in your neighborhood is your own dining room at meal time; simply look across the table. And, just to keep matters even and accurate, the rate of female offenders over male offenders is only slightly less (estimated at 10-25% lower than male offenders, depending on the source of the data); male offenders are just far more likely to be reported, and are traditionally given far harsher sentences.
You have to call the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Identification Unit/Inmate Information number:
Telephone: (916) 445-6713 8am-5pm, Monday - Friday (except holidays).
Fax: (916) 322-0500
Information on offenders admitted fewer than seven days previous will not be available.
Does a probation revocation mean your probation is being revoked?

What if you get caught with a knife and you were not on probation?
Get caught with a knife doing WHAT? As long as you were not committing any unlawful act and/or the knife was 'legal' you should have no problem with the law. And - if you aren't on probation why are you worried about that fact?
How can you see how much you owe to DOC for probation payment?

Can someone on probation vist a minor?
Dependant on the state the probationer lives in, the laws will vary. In most cases, if the crime for which a person is serving probation for, was against or of a sexual nature involving a child (minor) then No. The court would make sure that The stipulation of "no contact with a minor" was included in the sentencing and order of probation. If it was any other crime, then yes. (again, as long as there was no order from the court so stipulating the condition of probation)

How do you find out what someone did to violate their parole?
If you know who it is, his or her actual parole officer. If you do not know exactly who that is, the state department of parole office closest to your location. If you cannot easily find the phone number or address, call your local police department, they will know what it is.
If the parole violation is currently happening, and it is something that is a crime even if a person is on parole, you should call the local police, and while reporting the crime advise them that this person is on parole, together with whatever details you have about that parole.
Can a convicted felon hunt with a crossbow in Arkansas?
Probably not. But check for state and county laws just in case.
I yes in pa at least I am a felon and my parole officer allowed me to own a bow while i was on parole it is not a firearm so you can have it however i suggest checking local laws for example a flintlock gun is legal for me to have by the feds because it does not use modern ammunition but pa restricts it so it varies state to state
__________________________________________________
I checked with the sate attorney gen they had no answers. also called the Ohio dept of natural resources. it is possible for a convicted felon to hunt deer in Ohio provided only archery equipment is used no flintlocks/muzzle loaders or any other dangerous ordinance. this will vary state by state .. but ! check with your attorney and court records if the judge might or may have put a disability on archery equipment as well. this will vary case by case depending the nature of the felony charge....
thanks
How can you tell if you are on probation?
How can you NOT know?? Were you represented by an attorney? If so, ask them. If you were released on probation you would have received a paperwork package containing everything you needed to know. If all else fails, go to the Clerk of The Court's office and ask to see your case file.
Can you live together if you are on probation and he is on parole?
You would both have to check with your Parole Officers. Some probation sentences place a restriction on you against "consorting with" known criminals. If either of you have that restriction, it could be a problem. Check it out with your PO.
