Is a probation condition that prohibits the use or possession of illegal drugs "not reasonably related to future criminality"?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gamboa, A140718 (Cal. App. 2016):
forbids conduct which is not reasonably related to future criminality . . . .' " (People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481, 486.) This test is conjunctive, so a probation condition may not be found invalid unless all three factors apply. The prohibition against using or possessing illegal drugs necessarily relates to criminal conduct, and therefore passes muster under Lent.
