Question:
Do I have any rights when it comes to a probation officer visiting me at school?
I recently was charged with burglary of a building. This was my first offense ever. I have spoken to a few attorneys and they all same this will probably end up with probation and community service, but no jail time. At first I was relieved to hear that because I absolutely didnt want to lose my grants and loans for school, but now I wonder if probation could be detrimental in the long run. I am currently going to school for cosmetology and the school I am attending runs like a real salon. Meaning I receive my training on the floor with clients they have booked for me. My question is do I have any rights about possibly working something out that my probation officer not coming to my school. My school could limit my clients due to being pulled off the floor by a probation visit =(
Answer:
Very doubtful they would come to your school. Probation officers have the right to visit you at home and work but sometimes they never visit you at home at all. Probation departments are different throughout the state and are subject to the requirements of CJAD (Community Justice Assistance Division).
I was a probation officer in Dallas County in the 90's so I know a lot about probation.
Just follow your conditions and don't give the officer any power over you to write up a revocation and you'll be fine.
