    Default Re: 5th Amendment Protections While Under Investigation by Probation Officers

    I didn't find anything for Michigan but I did find a case decision in Colorado that may shed some light on your question.

    Understand something first: I cite that case ONLY to illustrate how the court explained that a probationer retains 5th Amendment rights.

    Everything else in the case might or might not apply to yours and you can see by reading the entire decision that there is not a simple "one size fits all" answer especially since a Colorado case might not be precedential for Michigan.

    So, yes, a probationer has 5th Amendment rights which might preclude revocation but, under some circumstances, might not.

    Read the case decision:

    And get yourself a good criminal defense attorney to research this for you and properly advise you.
