Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

how does probation legally get away with requiring me to agree to warrantless searches of my home and vehicle? this to me violates my constitutional right of not having to submit to unreasonable search and seizure! thanks,michael

By agreeing to probation rather than prison you agreed to the terms of probation. Consequently you have given permission for the searches so a warrant is not needed, and therefore, no constitutional rights have been violated. Your alternative is to go to court and request that the judge put you in prison instead.
