When your on probation?

Question

when you are on probation how far exactly do they know who you are ... like in bars and stuff ... and how do they know who you are ... do they have your picture or something?

Answer 1

Unless you're on electronic tether,

the cops won't know you're on probation & can't be in bars.

Answer 2

They don't stake out places like that, however, I know one parole agent in our county that would disguise himself and sit in the bars waiting for parolees to enter.  That is not the norm though, the only way something would happen is if there was a shoot-out in the bar, the police arrived and asked for everyone's ID and saw that you were on probation.
