You are incorrect in most of your story.

First knowing most PO, they will not tell you anything, but if they did, many would lie to you, and think it is funny to tell you one thing, and see what happen.

After that, he is on a bracelet, so that is for location, and of course he would have a crewfew, that is common and many people have that.

I would guess the statement about staying at the police was a sarcastic joke, meaning to get arrested and have a place to stay, the parole offficer would know you can not stay there.

And the search, a PO may search the place where the person lives any time they want, they have the right to enter and search.

Sounds like he just has a tough one, and also sounds like he has not been following the rules and getting to suffer for it.

I'm not sure about this. If the owner of the house agreed, perhaps, but I think the PO may be liable for the broken door.

Was there any written agreement with the PO providing that the parolee could stay there? If so, does it give the PO the right to search anywhere in the house, and to break doors doing so?

The title of this thread contains the phrase "conflict of interest". I see no mention of any facts which would constitute a conflict of interest.

I would say that if the parolee or someone is at home and they refuse to open the door, he would have right to enter.

Where the person on parole is to live has to be listed and given to the PO. By virture of them allowing the person on parole to live there, they are giving up the rights for the search.

Live in the city of Trenton, NJ a parole officer told someone they had to go to a program that helps them find a job before even attending the program the person found a job so did't do the program,the parole officer then told the person to quit their job if they did't do that they would lock them up for not listening to what they were told to do.
On another situation, the parole officer told this person he could't stay with parents cause, there is a school down the street, the person was staying with a sibling where there also was a school down the street, the person's sibling moved into a smaller place and if the parole person could't say with their parents they would be homeless, the parole officer told the parole person to stay at the police station the police station said."homeless people, don't stay at the police station. So the person went to shelter and they put them up for a weekend, now person still has no where to go,only place is where he grew up and that's his parents owned home.

Are we talking about YOU... or some "other person"?

Other people like to embelish stories when they pass them on so the chance is high you did not hear the whole truth from them.

This is important to establish.

Sounds like they are a convicted sex offender... if they can't live near a school. And the police station isn't a boarding home... If they are employed... why can't they get an apartment?

I think there is a lot more to this.

To answer question, no the parole officer was't given permission to search the whole house, only to search where my brothers sleeping area this is what he told me when she first had a meeting with him. And if he was being sarcastic, why would he also tell this man to quit his job and go to a program to help him find a job why step backwards. He has't violated any request he's done every program this man put in front of him his urine was't dirty not once, but, because, my brother went to the parole board on this man he has been making him feel like he's suffering, and can't move forward in life. If u did your time being locked up don't the parole officer suppose to guide you in the right direction? And if you have't violated aren't you suppose to move on in life by working, school, living in a stable place keeping your head above water.

Hello again, O:

Couple things.. Apparently you started this whole probation/parole thing VERY WRONG. Complaining about him is like calling the cops on a cop. It DOESN'T work. Confronting him with what another PO told you, DOESN'T work. If you can't afford to fight him with every breath, and every last nickel you've got, then the thing to do is put your head down and DO what he says.
