He might have said something that bothered his PO. Or the new PO might just be laying the law down, that he's the new sheriff in town and the last two years don't matter. Just his way of showing your husband who is in charge.
It could be someone dropped a dime and told the PO that your husband has been doing something. Perhaps one of the other parolees looking to get in with the new PO by snitching on your husband. |

First, if your husband is on parole, parole officers are allowed to do warrantless searches it is a condition of the parole. The police officers were there to help. Maybe this new parole officer is just noticing that your husband has never been searched and decided it was time to make that happen.
Another reason could be that his name came up in an unrelated investigation and the police decided to cover all tracks and when they found out your husband was on probation decided to make use of that. They got in contact with the probation officer and found out the next time he was going out there and tagged along to search. |

the home of the parolee is a surrogate place of confinement and become subject to the laws of the prison system and a parole officers is a menber of the prison system. |

anyone on parole in tx are subject to search at any time (including their home, vehicle, personal property) with or without reason. this is a condition of parole. refusing to allow a search will violate the parole.
i don't know about other states, but i'll bet the law is similar if not the same. |

some one may have told the police that he was doing dope or selling it. another reason the new parole officer may have wanted to make an imprerssion on him. at any rate they can search him any time to make sure he is staying straight. |

Random searches need to stay random. If a dept selects participants for searches, then it kinda loses its legal basis for random searches. As a parolee, he knows that they may search at any time, it is usually a stipulation of parole and that it may be done without consent and without notice. With that, if they had credible evidence that something may be found, they likely would have performed the search without you there. Since it appears they did not, since you are assuming that was their intention, you were probably selected for this random search. You may also be marked for search because of the new P/O. Many times new P/O's are a little rammy to try out their new power and search everyone to show how detail oriented they are. My belief has always been, come on in, conduct the search, if you have something to hide, they will find it. If you are truely clean (not saying you aren't) you have nothing to lose by letting them do their snopping and moving on to the next house and maybe there they will find someone more worthy of their attention and you will drop off the radar for them for a while. |

Because they can. It is their right. Your husband may not be in prison but he isn't a free man yet. They can do it any time any day. They can do it everyday til he is off or not at all or sporadically. Up to them. Not a thing you can do about it. If you wanna get upset with someone, you know who to blame, your hubby. They are just doing their jobs, he made your life this way, not them. |

His new parole officer could just be covering his own ***. If someone transfers a case to me and I don't know the person, I'll make them report more often for a few months until I see how they act. It covers me until I know what I'm dealing with.
I wouldn't take it personally, especially if they didn't find anything.
Also, the parole office that supervises your husband may have some kind of "search" quota they need to fill. For instance, we have urinalysis standards that we have to follow, and if my number aren't up, then some unlucky offender is going to have to take a urine test for no reason at all. |

He has a new parole officer. And possibly your husband isn't telling you the truth, maybe he had a dirty urine sample, and so his new parole officer wanted to check out your place to see what it looks like, etc. They can search your house for no reason, that's why it's called a home visit, and he wanted some officers there with him, he has that right to have someone there with him while doing a home visit. |

2 possibilities
1) New Parole officer wants to make it clear he isn't playing games and takes his position seriously.
??Why was the old parole officer replaced???
Did he retire? Did he move to another area or another position? Did he get fired? Maybe the new guy wants to clean the mess?
2) Someone alerted the police to him for some reason. Since he's on parole, it was easy for them to do a search. For most people, it would require a search warrant and it's not that easy to get one without some good evidence. |

Some one else in some plea agreement or someoen else on parole said he did something, They don't need any reason even, a new PO may be wanting to show everyone how tough he is. |
