In fact, everytime she goes to see her PO, she has to sign a list of rules, which includes language that says, more or less, the PO can tell you what to do & when to do it.

If a particular probation officer is unusually reprehensible or violates a probationer's constitutional rights, their conduct can be reviewed. For example Bob Enyart was in trouble in Colorado for spanking his stepson and they tried telling him he couldn't appear on "Politically Incorrect" to tell his side of the story because it would be bad for his "rehabilitation." Wrong! The court ruled that Enyart had a First Amendment right to apear, probation or no probation. Since the current round of invasions of Mrs. Henson's rights also began with a denial of her request to appear on a talk show, look for a civil rights action to be filed on a First Amendment claim as well as many others.

Oh, I'm sure of it. Just do the taxpayers a favor: use a private attorney or do it pro se, not the court appointed and taxpayer funded attorney for the 1983 action.
