while on probation or parole are all searches legal and how does it affect my roomates?

Yes they are all legal,your roomates are at risk if the police find anything illegal and in most states you violated probation or parole just by being in the illegal items presence.

yes you have the right, and he has the right to secure a warrant if he has probable cause ( assuming he make a good arguemetive case or a superior does in front of a judge ) andthen only the with a warrant in hand search your car, he can also detain you ( you are not under arrest ) until the warrant arrives. And if after the search he finds nohing but has the warrant you can sue him, ( or the police department ) for illegl search if you can prove that the search, was suspect due to a lack of probable cause ( even if the officer thinks he has it ). the trouble is judges tend to err on the side o the police at times especially if he pulls you over in a high crime / narco trafficing area, he can pretty much argue probable cause basedon those factors alone.

Let me try to give you an answer to the question you asked:\n\nIn California (this may vary by state, and you didn't say what state you're in), there is no right to be present for anyone, at any time, during any legal search.  \n\nIf you are present at a location during a search, you may very well be removed from the location during the search, depending on the circumstances.  It's possible you would even be detained during the search, and not allowed to leave the premises (inside or out) until such time as the search is over.\n\nAlso, just because someplace is being searched does not mean there is an "accused" as of yet.  Search warrants are frequently issued and served prior to any other kind of legal proceedings having been initiated.  At that point, there would be no "accused", only someone who is a suspect.

Try mapsexoffenders.com.  They have a great site that provides an interactive map.  You can enter your address or a general area and actually see where the offenders are in relation to your search specifications.  They also have links to state registries.  Good luck.

It would see that a roommate CAN give the police consent to search...\n\nhttp://writ.news.findlaw.com/colb/20050518.html

If they have a warrant, or reasonable cause, to search the house then they can search all of it.\n\nIf they actually admitted they needed to go get a warrant then anything they have already found is inadmissible in court, due to illegal search.

I can't answer that question   because I don't know here you are, what the problems of the area are, or the department's history of actions. If I had to guess, I'd say it either had to do something to do with wondering if you were involved in either gang activity or drug activity or both, based on your age and the knowledge of gang and drug dealers frequently occupying flashy cars. They may also just checking your driver license which is legal in many states in order to know more about who you are and be familiar with persons in the are of his beat. There probably is some profiling involved, As far as the tinted windows,,, they are illlegal because it's harder for the driver to see out bit was written to protect officers approaching vehicles on traffic stops. There is a tint meter, an electronic handheld device that quickly and precisely measure the degree of tint on the window. Best advice I can give you, be polite and don't get upset if you get stopped, you'll just piss some aggresive ooficer to want to find something to charge you with and sarch your car. If he asks if he can search you car, say no. As long as there is nothing inside the car in "plain view", he can't search your car     unless he entices you or trys to scare you into giving him permission. Just say no, and if he uses tactics like threatening to charge you with some other charge or something, remember exactly all the details. Its illegal and a vilation of your 4th ammendment rights. If he wants to search it after you say no, he has to go get a search warrant first, or find a reason to arrest you, then he can search it as a pretext to arrest, or inventory the contents if impounded. He can also legally search anywhere in the vehicle within your reach for his own protection, and courts have ruled tha pretty much includes anywhere in the interior including the glove box. If its locked, he has to explain that if you bring it up in court. To look in your trunk, he needs your consent or arrest you, find something illegal in the interiuor, or inventory it if impounded..or get a search warrant. If you want more advice, if your a suspect in something, use your right to remain silent. You don't have to say anything and most cases are made based on getting the suspect to implicate himself...One exception to keeping your mouth shut, most states do have a seperate law that requires you to answer with your name and dob if asked. Courts have upheld failure to do so and that gives him right to arrest and search you and vehicle. Other than that, keep quite.

Yeah, do a google for your state and the dept. of corrections.  Florida has onelike Illinois where you can search offender past and present, their charges, the time they were in, find pictures, etc.

The officers cannot conduct a search without a warrant or without probable cause, unless there are specific special circumstances.\n\nGenerally, the police can pull you over for any suspicion.  Expired tags, no front plates, broken taillight, etc.  If they then "smell" something suspicious (i.e., pot or alcohol), they can then search your car under suspicion of possession or DUI.  If they place you under arrest, they can basically search every inch of your car.\n\nIf they ask if they can search your car YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY NO!!!!!  If you consent to a search, they have the ability to search your entire car.\n\nIf they simply give you a ticket and search your car without consent, they have violated your rights.  If they find any evidence in your car, it cannot be used against you in court.  If they found nothing or no charges were placed against you, you should still make a complait to the police department they were from. It will go in their file and it may help someone else (or you) defend themself in the future.

No, there is nothing that states that you must be present during a search.  Search warrants can even be executed when you are not home.  However, a list of seized items are to be left on the premises.

It should come down to what the terms of the probation are. I have heard of it going either way. One judge said yes, you are a family, stay together. Another said no, no association with other felons. Talk to a lawyer. Because there is a business involved, which is a third entity, you might get a break.

No. Once a warrant has been served, you have no rights to "supervise" the search. Who is to say that you will try to direct the search AWAY from where what they are looking for? The house will be systematically searched while they try to find what they are looking for as you sit handcuffed in the living room or in a squad car. Handcuffed for your and the officers' safety, I might add - not necessarily because you have been arrested.\n\nNow, don't get taken in by Hollywood hype. While it happens quite often in the movies that cops plant evidence, it is very infrequent - if not outright rare - that it happens in real life. Most cops are honest, hard-working people just doing their job.\n\nDoes it happen? Yes - but very, very infrequently.

Not if your on hold for a parole violation.  They can keep you until you go back to court and they decide if your going to have your parole revoked and have to go back and serve the remainder of you original sentence.

The problem here is that he lives in your place. It dont matter if it is in your name or not he lives there. When i was served with a warrant at my sisters house it did not matter that i wasnt on the lease what mattered was what was in the house. All 4 of us went to jail even tho my sister and brother in law knew nothing about what was there. Im not sure if this helps you but I thought I would share my experiance. I think you gave yourself the best advice, "get an attorney A.S.A.P."

It depends on the terms of your probation.\n\nAre you allowed to leave the court's jurisdiction?\n\nIf so, you should have no problem so long as you comply with the terms of your probation.

Do not listen to the first answer here.  Where that comes from, I cannot imagine.\n\nIf you are not on probation or parole, and have not otherwise waived your 4th amendment rights, then you are not subject to search and seizure, drug registrant or not.\n\nHaving to register as a drug offender means just what it sounds like...you have to register as a drug offender.  You are required to register with the agency having jurisdiction over your place of residence.  As long as you don't move, you never have to register again.\n\nAnd you might want to check your information - your duty to register should terminate five years after you were released from parole.\n\nHere's a link so you can read 11590 - 11595 HS for yourself:\n\nhttp://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html

If you're on probation, it is to your advantage to follow the court's and your probation officer's instructions to the letter. \n\nAs a reminder, if you do not successfully complete your probationary period, the court can make you serve whatever the original sentence is in jail. \n\nAnd yes, drug testing is probably allowed as a condition of probation.
