    YES... getting a job is REQUIRED part of your probation... don't like it? Get the original charges reinstated...

    YES... they hanging around with a prohibited class of people is grounds to revoke your probation... and get the original charges reinstated...

    YES... they can keep you from living with other criminals... don't like it? Get the original charges reinstated...

    You did take time to read those papers you had to sign to get probation... didn't you? It tells you what is expected of you as part of the conditions for the probation... you signed it... any violate is grounds to revoke the probation.

    The probation officer can not "make you get a job" if getting a job is part of the judges order and rule of probation, the probation officer may violate your probation and put you in jail if you don't get a job. See he does not make you get a job, just puts you in jail if you don't.
    You may see it as make you, but really you have the choice not to,

    Yes, he can order you not to be around people who are on probation or parole. This is standard, you will have to get permission to be around anyone on probation. Including a girlfriend. My own son was sent to jail when he would not break up with a girl who was on probation when he was on probation.

    While normally they don't have a say, but yes there can be some rules, a boarding house known for drug traffic for example, and living next to a school if you are a sex offender.

    Hello jat:

    It's NOT as simple as that, but under ordinary circumstances, you can move WITHIN the state WITHOUT permission. Therefore, you can TAKE the job.
