Can the Court Order Probation Officer Not to Contact Employers

[Rock_Fuel]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida.

Does the court have this power, and if so, where can I find a copy of such a motion to restrict employment varification to the examination of pay records?

Thanks

Even if we assume the court has that power, it's never going to happen. All such a motion would do is inspire the question, "What is he trying to hide?" Seriously - what are you trying to hide?

If you want a jurisdiction where a court will impede a probation officer from verifying your compliance with the terms of probation and investigating the stability of your life, I suggest you start with other planets because I doubt such a jurisdiction exists on Earth.

First, I'm not the probationer.
The probationer for obvious reasons would prefer not to have his employer informed of his criminal offense. Is that somehow nefarious? His conditions of probation do NOT include maintaining employment.
Motions to modifiy of the terms of probation are commonplace.

Thanks

I find no such form.

In theory, the court COULD restrict PO contact, but in practice, it does not. Part of the PO's job is getting to know the probationer's environment, so if the probationer misses an appointment, there's a place to start looking for him/her.

Thanks Missy. Can't hurt to try.
