LEGAL STATUS OF PAROLEES AND PROBATIONERS ANALYZED, AND RELEVANT STATE COURT DECISIONS ON THEIR FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS REVIEWED.
Abstract
THE FEDERAL COURTS HAVE NOT DETERMINED THE EXTENT TO WHICH PROBATION OFFICERS MAY SEARCH AND EXAMINE A PAROLEE'S PERSON OR PLACE OF ABODE WITHOUT BEING SUBJECT TO CONSTITUTIONAL RESTRAINTS. TWO ALTERNATIVES ARE SUGGESTED IF THIS AUTHORITY IS DEEMED DESIRABLE AWAIT DECISIONS OF TEST CASES, OR REQUIRE A WAIVER OF FOURTH AMENDMENT PRIVILEGES AS AN EXPRESS CONDITION OF PAROLE.
