Is a probation condition reasonable when the probationer has committed a criminal offence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Zavala, D067821 (Cal. App. 2016):
A probation condition is reasonable when imposed to prevent future criminality. (Olguin, supra, 45 Cal.4th at p. 379.) In exercising its discretion to impose conditions for probation, the court "may properly go beyond the exact confines of the current offense to consider all the relevant circumstances regarding the probationer." (People v. Patillo (1992) 4 Cal.App.4th 1576, 1580, overruled on another point in People v. Welch (1993) 5 Cal.4th 228, 237.)
