Wait until you're off probation. You should have checked with your P.O. on this prior to your wife leasing another apartment.

Hello c:

In MY state, you don't need permission to move to another county. Just because your PO doesn't give permission DOESN'T necessarily mean you NEED permission. Ask her to show you the RULES where it says the stuff she SAYS it says.

Or we could check it for him. I know if I was a P.O. and one of my cases asked me to "prove" myself when I was just doing my job, I'd be rather ticked off. After all, I'M not the one who broke the law in the first place. You just like rocking the boat :p

To the OP: where are you located?

If you want to call holding bureaucrats feet to the fire, rocking the boat, you certainly may.

I'm just saying in your experience, people who work in law enforcement don't always uphold their oath to protect and serve. I agree with that, although I've never personally experienced it. You tend to push the envelope, I tend to play it safe. You'd go and directly ask your P.O. to prove themselves, I'd rather look for the law myself before starting an argument.

Just difference in personality, I guess :)

No, I think it's a matter of interpretation. YOU think my asking for a copy of the rules is a CHALLENGE to the PO to PROVE themselves... I think it's just asking for a copy of a public document. If they didn't want to give it to me, I'd obtain from other sources... The question WOULD put them on notice, though, that I'm going to hold them accountable, just like they're holding ME accountable. Ain't nothing wrong with a relationship based on RULES.

If the rule that the PO just told me about was IN the rules, my PO wouldn't have any trouble giving me a copy. If it's NOT in the rules, you betcha, I'm going to push the envelope... You don't think the PO MISSTATING the rules ISN'T pushing the envelope??

I do agree that officers of the law need to abide by the same rules they hold us to - sometimes they fail to do so and they need to be held accountable.

Yes, I do see it as a challenge because I'm looking at it from the eyes of the P.O. If someone walked into my job and said, "I want proof that you fixed my car correctly," I'd take that as a challenge. Absolutely. It wouldn't hurt to ask around, get other info, before you "accuse" someone of being in the wrong.

Hello again, this:

Let me repeat myself. Asking for a book is NOT accusing anybody of anything. Besides, that's what I want the book FOR, because WHEN I accuse them of wrongdoing, if I do, I want the BOOK in my hot little hand.

Why do you want to transfer to another county? Is this new residence still within the same state? If it is, then all you have to do is inform your PO of your new adderss and keep going in to that PO at the same county that you have already established your probation in. It's only 5 months and if you have to drive say 2 hours one way, oh well, then you'll have to. To get the probation transferred when you only have 5 months left to do would take you probably 3-4 months for the paperwork to be processed. This way you are not rocking the boat.

One of the items that you fill in on a monthly basis is your residence address, yes? If that is the case (and I'm sure it is) then you just put the NEW address in the appropriate spot. Technically you need to inform your PO of your change of address as soon as you physically move.

They can't keep you from moving to a different county as it is still in the same state.

I know someone on probation a few years ago that had to travel one hour one way as they were in a different county from where their probation was. They did this for 3 years without complaints even though they could request a transfer of probation to a different county but didn't. They had no problem whatsoever in doing this. You should have no problem either.

I know in Florida you must get (or it used to be the case) that you could not leave the county without permission let alone move to a different county in the same state. I'm sure that rule went out the window years ago.

What state are you in and how long (time wise) would be your drive to go back to see the PO?
