I should have specified that they rarely find anyone in violation of probation for committing a minor offense like using the internet, even if it is part of his probation. Had he been using the internet to commit the same defrauding activities that got him the original charges, now that’s a different story.
You're exactly right (though people don't often commit minor probation violations in such a public way). Of course this is selective enforcement of the probation violation. My point is simply that the probation condition itself is hardly unusual.
