Are there any restrictions on where I can travel while on parole or probation?
Yes, there are restrictions on where you can travel while on parole or probation in California. Generally, you cannot leave the state without permission from your probation or parole officer. Some counties even require permission for you to travel to an adjacent county. Additionally, if you are on probation for certain felonies, such as sex offenses, you will have even more restrictions on where you can travel, and may have to have permission to even leave the county. For example, if you are on probation for a sex offense, most counties in California prohibit you from going to areas where minors congregate, such as parks, playgrounds, and schools. You must also report any other travel plans outside of your county, even if it’s within the state of California. You may also be prohibited from visiting certain places, such as bars, casinos, or other places that involve the purchase or sale of alcohol or drugs. If you plan to leave the state while on parole or probation, you must request and receive approval in advance from your parole or probation officer. Even if you are granted permission to leave the state, you still need to abide by all conditions of your parole or probation. It’s recommended that you talk to your probation or parole officer before you plan any travel outside of the state.
