Can a probation officer drug test u in your own home if they are making a home visit?

feistycharley

I'm fairly sure they can test you anytime they want. If it is a scheduled visit, there's very little you can do. If the officer has the written right to test you, then he needs very little reason to ask you to submit to a drug test. Especially if he can provide any type of probable cause (i.e., drug paraphernalia being present in the home, a drug smell, strange behavior)

Yes. You have a clause that allows the officer to search and that includes your body.

Yes is one of the conditions of probation is that you will submit to random drug screens

shorte716

Wjile you are on probation, he owns you. He can make you do just about whatever he wants.

happymommy

yes. and it shouldn't be an issue if you aren't doing drugs. So the moral of the story is...Don't Do Drugs!

Semi-charmed

Yes

*WEDA*

yea.one time I had a test but i couldn't go b/c its hard when someone is in the same bathroom as you and looking right at you.I asked for some water and she said no but she'll be popping up at my house and take a sample.

YES, next time read the whole probation form. They can call you in almost anytime for a whizz quizz too.

Stay off the drugs man!

Mr. PhD

Yes. It is in the basic terms of your probation

yep....not only can they drugtest you on a home visit...they can inspect your room and remove anything they feel is inappropriate....you have a poster on the wall with an alcohol or drug reference on it or a bb gun under your bed....consider it gone depending on how lenient your PO wants to be. basically this is how it stands. you broke the law at some point in time...not sure if you did time or not...but the time in which you have a Probation Officer is basically almost like being in jail.....durring this time...technically you have no rights until you can prove to the officer and the judge that you deserve the rights or until the time of your probation expires.

they can only if the judge apoints it to u,which means on your probation papers if it is asigned then yes the probation officer can do it ,but if the judge did not sign and check it as a term on your probation then no the probation officer can not drug test you,ask your probation officer to show u all the terms and which ones the judge signed on

papa mac

you can refuse and go to jail for the rest of your sentence if thats easier on you.
