S.D.Ga.: Suspicionless probation search condition doesn’t need to be part of the sentencing order to be valid

Defendant was properly subject to a suspicionless state probation condition. He had no right to have it announced in court as a part of the sentence. It occurs by operation of law. United States v. Linder, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 130702 (S.D. Ga. June 21, 2019), adopted, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 130615 (S.D.Ga. Aug. 5, 2019).

“The relevant complaint reveals that an officer arrested Romine without a warrant, and that he was later released when a grand jury declined to indict him. As a result, Romine was never subjected to a seizure pursuant to a legal process as required for a § 1983 malicious prosecution claim.” Romine v. Athens Clarke County, 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 23427 (11th Cir. Aug. 6, 2019).*
