    Default Can Your Probation Officer Tell Family Members to Break Ties With You

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: california. Three family members went to probation and had a conversation with a probation officer regarding me. The probation officer recommend my father should break ties with me. There is no info release on file. Was this probation officer mis-conduct? What can be done about it?

    There is no law against an officer simply making that kind of “recommendation.” Whether it was appropriate morally and ethically depends on why the officer told your father that and what rules the probation office has about that. If your father is a bad influence on you such that it lead you to violate probation then it was appropriate for the officer to advise your father stay clear of you to give you the best shot at success in your probation. So the details matter.

    You've provided no contact as to why there may have been such a conversation. Hypothetically, a concerned father the officer and expresses worry over his son's drug usage. Or maybe stealing his property and threatening to batter him for putting up resistance. There could be a number of reasons as to why an officer may have offered that suggestion...
