Q: My job is 1 county away. Is my CC officer just when telling me i can only work limited shifts to better supervise me?
I transfered recently to sumpter county from lake county where i work. The CC supervisor told me to move back or find a job in this county. I explained that i could not due to my dcf case wich requires me to have a job and i had already done a home study for my new residence. I was recently told that i could work only 5 days a week 8 hours a day. I'm under the impression that sumpter county can call lake county to have my whereabouts confirmed. Is it my right to work where and when i want as long as it's lawful employment?
A: I would suggest speaking to a lawyer about the possibility of filing a motion to modify the supervision that you are on. The Court can sign an order allowing a particular Defendant the ability to work in a particular place or particular hours. If the CC officer is not willing to work with you, having the Court order it might be your best option. Fighting with your officer or going over their head to speak to their supervisor is typically counterproductive.
