Can my home be searched without a warrant while on parole or probation?
Yes. Generally, home, auto, and body searches for all persons on probation or parole can be done at any time without a warrant by the appropriate state agency, though this can vary from state to state as to the need for some factual basis for doing so. During the course of a search, any items found that are a violation of probation or parole, such as drugs or weapons, can be seized and used as evidence. Additionally, you will be facing additional criminal charges.
