A:
In California, the specific terms of probation can vary depending on the case and the court's decision. However, in general, misdemeanor probation for disorderly conduct may or may not include search terms.
Search terms, also known as search conditions, allow law enforcement officers to search your person, property, or residence without a warrant and with less than probable cause. These terms are more commonly associated with felony probation or cases involving drugs or weapons.
For a misdemeanor disorderly conduct conviction, the court may impose other common probation conditions, such as:
1. Obey all laws
2. Report regularly to a probation officer
3. Pay fines and restitution
4. Attend counseling or anger management classes
5. Perform community service
6. Abstain from alcohol or drugs
To know the specific terms of your probation, you should carefully review your probation order or consult with your criminal defense attorney. If search terms are not explicitly mentioned in your probation order, they likely do not apply to your case.
It is crucial to adhere to all the terms and conditions of your probation to avoid potential violations and further legal consequences.
