Hello kc:

I'd LOVE to tell you they're bogus. I'd LOVE to tell you how to kick his PO's a$$... But, I can't.. The charges AREN'T bogus. The PO is allowed to search the house and if drugs are found, the PO can violate your friend EVEN if the DA doesn't charge anybody with a crime.

His options are to hire a good lawyer familiar with probation rules.

The PO may at any time enter your home without a warrant and search, he may also authorise the police to do the search.

If there is someone in your home and they have drugs on them, you can be charged and the charges will stick, In some states ( like GA) if you are in a city park and a group of you are together, and they search everyone, if one person has drugs they can charge everyone.

Next the DA does not even have to charge the person who had the drugs on them, just the drugs being in your home is all it takes.

This is not bogus, far from it, it is how many probation violations happen
