My girlfriend was recently convicted for drug possession/paraphernalia (Heroin, needles, and a broken crack pipe with residue). As she lives with me my house is now subject to searches and I am not allowed to have guns/weapons or drugs/alcohol. I overlooked a tobacco hookah as it's legally available to purchase and own for legal flavored smoke-tobacco. Her probation officer, on a random search, asked what was in it. It was sitting in a metal combo box ontop of the fridge--very conspicuous--so I took it down and showed it to him, at which point he called for police backup and hand-cuffed her. Having been unused, the police officer didn't do anything more than take a picture of it, but the probation officer confiscated it and violated her probation for it. The probation officer said that he is not bound by "reasonable-cause" requirements. What is he allowed to do and what governs this?
