QUESTION

How do I file a complaint or even harassment suit on my husband’s parole officer?

Asked on Apr 05th, 2014 on Criminal Law - California
More details to this question:
My husband is on parole in CA. My husband parole officer keeps lying about my husband. First, he made a home visited on April 2 2014 and try to test him but my husband couldn't test for him on the spot. He just use the restroom. My husband drank water and juice so he could test for his parole officer. Thirty minutes passed and my husband try again for him it was a tiny bit, wasn't enough to test and his parole officer said just water. The next day we went to the parole office to talk to somebody. My husband calls his parole officers boss. He stated that his parole officer never seen my husband drink water or even try to test for him. I was there the whole time. They went to our residents and search without either one of us present for our room being searched. My husband said they’re not supposed to search his stuff or mine without either one us being present. Then the head boss I also talk to after they locked my husband up for not able to be tested. The head supervisor said he wasn't violating him to let him know when calls back. My husband called yesterday and said that he got the paper work. There’s like four different reasons besides what his parole officer stated when he arrested him. I don't know what to do. My husband has been attending the star program and graduated March 30 2014 and had started it again. My husband’s parole officer locked him on March 14 2014 for something he lied once again on my husband.

You would have to sue civilly which is a very difficult to prevail in such a suit. Ask your husband's parole officer's supervisor for another probation-parole officer because of a lack of trust. If he or she fails to provide a new officer, go to his supervisor. In the meantime and even after your husband gets a new parole officer keep a log or everything that is said and ask if you can record the meetings. Most importantly, your husband must obey all requirements of his parole.
