I can see that you are very upset and I can understand why. But more facts are needed here as to why the PO said that. What were the charges? Did they involve a violent offense against you? Is it because you yourself have a record? The conditions of probation probation are generally set by the court after recommendations by the DA, the victim, etc., depending on the case. But if it is a condition - or if you fit in to the category of some one he is not supposed to come in to contact with - then the PO can indeed enforce it. Good luck.
