P. v. Lackyard
Defendant challenges Condition No. 15 of his probation—that he “reside at a residence approved by the probation officer and not move without prior consent of the probation officerâ€â€”on constitutional grounds. The trial court imposed this condition after granting defendant probation, in return for a guilty plea, and instead of imposing a three-year prison term, for entering the home of his ex-girlfriend, beating her bloody, snatching a necklace from her neck, and later violating the terms of an emergency restraining order. As discussed below, we conclude that the challenged probation condition should be changed.
