In re Peeler

In In re Peeler (1968) 266 Cal.App.2d 483, the appellate court upheld "a probation condition prohibiting the defendant from associating with reputed drug users . . . even where the defendant's husband was a presumed drug user." (In re Peeler, supra, 266 Cal.App.2d at pp. 492-493.) There, the defendant plead guilty to marijuana possession and was placed on probation. (Peeler, supra, at p. 484.) One of the probation conditions prohibited the defendant from associating with known or "'reputed'" users of marijuana. (Id. at p. 488.) The condition "was, effectively, a command that she live apart from her husband." (Id. at p. 488.) The appellate court held that "under the peculiar circumstances of this case the conditions imposed by the court were reasonable and valid pro tempore." (Id. at pp. 492-493.)
