Question by Polaco B: In Chicago, IL (cook County). If sentenced to Probation can a P. O. alter a Judges ruling?
In 2005 my girlfriend was sentenced to 36 months Probation. All she had to do was report once a month and pay court and probation fees. 6 months into her Probation her officer demands that she provide Urine drops. This was not a stipulation of her probation at sentencing. Now she violated Probation with a dirty drop and on Oct 25th was sentenced to 6months in jail. Is thid legal?

Check with County Law enforcement, but I suspect it’s legal. Most states have probationists take random drug tests during the probationary period. Not necessary to be part of sentencing.
