Townes v. State
Where the accepted conditions of the defendant's probation included that he consent to any warrantless search of his person, residence or any vehicle which he operated, occupied or possessed at any time by any probation officer, without prior notice, the trial court correctly denied his motion to suppress evidence of a gun found in his possession. The conditions of his probation expressly prohibited him from possessing any contraband, including illegal weapons, controlled substances or illegal drugs. The terms of his probation authorized a search by any probation officer to determine whether he was complying with the specified conditions. The evidence established the search, conducted by a probation officer, was to determine whether he had any illegal drugs or weapons and was valid.
