text: It's not a case of the end justifying the means. To the state of CA (and most other states, I'm afraid), model citizenry in another state does not justify violation of parole.\n\nTo be honest, the parolee staying out of trouble will keep him under the radar for only so long. The low profile can actually cause more concern for law enforcement because thery have no knowledge of what the parolee is doing, good or bad. Sadly, they're not giving the parolee the benefit of a doubt, either.\n\nNot the answer you're looking for, but it is the perspective of the law.
