Resident Verification

Hi, I just got on probation last month for 3 yrs and my po came by today to verify my address. I was indeed told he was coming today, but he didn't give me an exact time. He just said ''If u dont hear from me by 2:00, then go about your business.'' Basically I wasn't here to answer the door for him. And around 10 am, when I came back , there was his card in my door that said on the back ''not good.'' Is this a violation of probation even though I'm not on house arrest?

Yes, this is a potential violation. If your P.O. says to be there, you have to be there. You should call your P.O. right away.

I would recommend contacting your probation officer immediately Monday morning to discuss where you were and your prior discussion with him. You should be able to work if out. If not, contact a defense attorney in your area for further assictance. Good luck.
