Comments on: Hip Pocket Jail Time for Probationers http://nccriminallaw.sog.unc.edu/?p=2149 UNC School of Government Blog Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:57:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: MikeC http://nccriminallaw.sog.unc.edu/?p=2149&cpage=1#comment-3650 MikeC Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:26:53 +0000 http://sogweb.sog.unc.edu/blogs/ncclaw/?p=2149#comment-3650 I would like input from School of Govt staff regarding Warrantless Searches for probationers. There have been differing thoughts regarding the need for probable cause prior to conducting a warrantless search of an offender. Where, if at all, does probable cause tie in, in relation to the warrantless search condition of probation?

Additionally, is a Probation Officer justified in conducting a warrantless search, based on a tip of criminal activity, that comes from Law Enforcement, or from the community.

Your input is appreciated….
