WV parole agreements are governed by Samson

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

WV parole agreements are governed by Samson, so defendant agreed to the parole search ahead of time. United States v. Pickens, 2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 21067 (4th Cir. October 6, 2008) (unpublished)* ("Pickens signed a copy of the rules and regulations which included the provisions requiring him to permit his parole officer to visit his residence without obstruction and to submit to a warrantless search of his person and home for supervision purposes at any time."). Defendant in jail did not show a reasonable expectation of privacy in a document he had in his jail cell. It was otherwise relevant. State v. Kalican, 2008 Conn. App.LEXIS 477 (October 7, 2008).*
