    Default Traveling While on Probation Without a Permit

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania

    Well i have been planning to go visit some family over in Las Vegas for a while now and i was just wondering if the TSA would ask for a travel permit or if they would even have any knowledge of me being on probation. I have never asked my PO for a travel permit but i have traveled out of state a couple times without it. I recently got cited for disorderly conduct but i have been on probation for 2 years out of a 5 year sentence and havnt been in any trouble and have done everything they asked. i have court coming up for the citation and as far as i know there is no talk of violating me.. should i go ahead and ask my probation officer for a travel permit or can i do this without her knowing?


    edit: my charges are misdemeanors and my travel restriction is for out of state only... thank you in advance

    No, TSA will not know you are on probation for interstate travel. Yes you need to ask your PO. What if they need you for something while you are out of town? If they find out on your own, they could violate you. Oh, and just because you don't think they are planning to violate you on the DC charge doesn't mean it can't happen now or down the road.

    Can you do this without her knowing? That's kinda like a student asking a teacher "Can I go to the bathroom?" Yes, you always have the ability but that doesn't not change the fact you do not have permission.

    I'll tell you the same thing I tell my guys, "it ain't hard to get permission. I do find out and when I do, that's your ass!" People always leak. Snitches can be people that you'd never expect.

    And believe me, people have gotten caught. All you have to do is ask and make sure that you are not interfering with your conditions and inform your PO. It really is not hard.
