If your probation officer is located in the same county as where you were convicted of the crime that you are presently under probation for, he or she can require you to drive to where his or her office is located even though you reside 50 minutes away from the probation office.
Custom and practice of for the person under probation to drive to his or her probation officer's office so long as it is in the same county as where the courthouse is where the charges were filed resulting in the conviction.
