Are there any restrictions on owning a vehicle while on parole or probation?

Yes, there are restrictions on owning a vehicle while on parole or probation in California. These restrictions depend on the specific terms of the parole or probation. In general, when on parole or probation, an individual must not own, operate, or be in possession of a vehicle unless the terms of the parole or probation specifically allow it. Under California Vehicle Code Section 12818, a person on parole or probation is prohibited from driving any motor vehicle with a driver’s license that has been suspended or revoked, or that was issued to another person. Additionally, the individual cannot be cited for any traffic violations, including but not limited to speeding. If the individual on parole or probation is granted permission to possess or operate a motor vehicle, they must obtain written permission from their parole/probation officer prior to operating the vehicle. They must also follow any other conditions that may be set by the parole/probation officer. Generally, this will include having the parole/probation officer inspect the vehicle before it is operated. The individual must also adhere to all other rules and regulations set by the court or parole/probation department in order to remain on parole or probation. Violations of the terms of parole or probation could result in additional charges being brought against the individual and potential jail time.
