Are there any restrictions on owning a vehicle while on parole or probation?
In New Mexico, there are restrictions on owning a vehicle while on parole or probation. These restrictions are based on the conditions of the parole or probation set by the court. If the court imposes a condition requiring the offender to obtain a valid driver’s license then they must own a vehicle or have access to one in order to comply with the condition. The vehicle must also be registered and insured. In addition, it may be a condition of parole or probation that an offender’s vehicle not be used for any illegal activity. This means that a parolee or probationer must not be in possession of illegal drugs or weapons while in the vehicle. It also means that they must comply with all traffic laws while driving, such as observing speed limits. If a parolee or probationer does not have access to a vehicle, they may be denied permission to drive a car owned by another person while on parole or probation. Driving any vehicle without permission of the court may be a violation of the conditions of parole or probation. These restrictions ensure that a parolee or probationer is not engaging in illegal activity or endangering themselves or others while on parole or probation. It is important to understand and comply with all conditions of parole or probation in order to stay on track for successful reintegration into society.
