Judges should tell people when (or when not) to have sex? Judges are in charge of who can have a tattoo?
Do we love judicial activism so much that we want it down to such low level personal decisions? Be aware: I hope the girl follows the judge's advice -- it's good advice. But not something I think should be handed down by a court of law.
Under probation a judge can attach special conditions. If she wasn't on probation he couldn't. Simple really.
Parents should and do. In this case, the State is acting in the place of the parent for the good of the child.
While the ruling is practically unenforceable, so are many parental "rulings." Silence would be seen as consent, so the State is justified in speaking out.
Condition of probation. I imagine the yout' could always decline the terms of probation and remain in jail.
Probation is not a right, and, if a judge sees fit to impose it, he/she may impose any condition she wants if it arguably is aimed at preventing illicit behavior. Only if the perp is violated because of this no sex provision and subsequently imprisoned would habeas corpus apply, ergo no immediate appeal. Sorry, libs.
I'm with you on that. An unenforceable, unauthorized judicial decision is still an abomination regardless of whether the intent is good or not.
