Question

Probation officers need _____ that a probationer is engaged in criminal activity before conducting a search of a probationer's home.​

Answer 1

The correct answer is reasonable suspicion.

Probation officers need sufficient reasonable suspicion that a person or suspected individual is really involved in such criminal activity, without any reasonable suspicion seen, they cannot search a probationer's home. If the probation officers continue to search a probationer's home without any reasonable suspicion, they can be reported to higher authorities and may result to punishment for their actions.
