She can do. Once you break the law, your life is not your own. Your probation officer can come to your home at anytime and search it without warrant...

If your P.O can show that your doctor requested the information in order to properly treat you, then yes. Your criminal record is a matter of public record. Unless your judge ordered your records sealed, (doubtful), then your doctor could go down to the court house and request your information with a Freedom of Information request. He has to show proper cause, but it's rare for a court to question the integrity of a doctor.
Sorry it ain't what you wanted to hear, but that's how it works here in Michigan.
Good Luck staying on the "straight and narrow".
If you really need the medicine, it's possible that your probation officer could arrange to get it sent to him/her, and they could dispense it to you at the appointed intervals.
Just a thought.

i turned right into a probation officer earlier i retired. that's accepted to take a drug attempt and proceed to attempt randomly untill you're off probation. Im not particular yet you sound somewhat anxious. Drink water like a feind when you're. Im not particular this is going to forestall yet its the proper ingredient you may do at this previous due hour

If you signed a release, the PO can provide the doc with specific info. Have you thought about petitioning the court for a modification of your current order?? You might want to contact your local Legal Aid and request they review your case, your case would be stronger if you are continuously dropping clean UA's and have met all other conditions of your probation.

According to State AND Federal statutes and articles of Probationary Terms and Conditions ...
"The confirmed determination by three Medical Dr's after the
subjects physical evaluation of any persisting / chronic
disabling or potentially terminal condition shall be deemed
the final determining factor as to Probationary Terms and
Conditions."
In other words the Medical evaluation and recommendations hold very heavy sway over the probation rules as applied to the patient..

Sounds like that sheet you signed gave the probation officer permission to give you records to your doc. Just a guess.

get another doctor and don't tell anyone about him/her. your little secret.
I have to ask? With your disorders are you all wired up one minute and then crashed the next?

It is a matter of public record: yes

If you have been convicted of this crime, or even formally charged with it, it is public record.
