What are the rules governing where I can go while on parole or probation?
In Florida, people who are on parole or probation are subject to certain rules which govern where they can go. Generally speaking, a parolee or probationer must remain in the geographic area where they live and have permission before traveling outside of that area. They may also be required to notify their probation or parole officer before they go. In addition, the parolee or probationer must not enter certain places, such as liquor stores, bars, or casinos. They may also be prohibited from going to certain schools, parks, or other areas where minors may be present. Further, parolees and probationers must obey all laws, including curfews and/or restrictions on the hours during which they are allowed to be away from their residence. Violations of any of these rules may result in serious consequences, such as an increase in the length of the parole or probation term, or a revocation of parole or probation. Parolees and probationers must also seek permission to work or attend school outside of their geographic area, or to visit certain family members or friends. In addition, if they are found to have violated any of the rules, their parole or probation may be revoked. It is important for parolees and probationers to know and understand the rules governing their parole or probation in order to make sure they follow them and avoid any potential legal consequences.
