Does she have that right? I'm supposed to obtain gainful employment and I have.... if she calls them it will cost my job... I work at a respectful country club
A: Probation does have a right to verify your employment and place of work. Your attorney or you can file a motion with the court asking that an order be signed instructing the probation officer to verify employment via paystubs, etc. You can try speaking honestly with your probation officer to see if they will agree to do this without an order. Treat your officer with respect and they will hopefully treat you likewise. Also show them that you are serious about getting your conditions completed and will not need to be babied.
