My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA
To get an idea WHY this question matters, see this post of mine....it's the same 21 year old kid.
He was arrested (in San Diego county) and served 6 months for possession and intent to sell....released in October with 5 years (i think) of probation.
He was told that his probation would be transferred to LA county, but to date, nothing has come of that.
Still, the room in the house where he lives was searched about two months ago by the local police, who were polite, thorough, and found nothing. Prior to posting here, I tried to get the probation documents for review: my friend claims they've been missing since the search (can't corroborate this, and am frankly skeptical -the kid doesn't really want to deal with "authorities", and is a bit of an airhead when it comes to his post imprisonment....he's legal and working, but isn't taking his SITUATION -the fact that he's not a fully entitled citizen- real seriously, imo)
The link (at the start of this post) to the latest search of his car is what prompted this post: he's paying some monthly amount for probation, but isn't getting any...which in this particular situation amounts to not having ANYONE in the system he can talk to when the police take his stuff and don't even bother giving him a reciept.
So...is there an avenue for him to get some resolution about his (non-existant) probation officer? Shouldn't he have one? (he was supposed to) Would it be reasonable to expect a probation officer to intervene in a situation like the one described in the link?
This entire thing makes me angry![]()
