2026This exception is codified at RCW 9.94A.631(1) and provides in relevant part, “If there is reasonable cause to believe that an offender has violated a condition or requirement of the sentence, a community corrections officer may require an offender to submit to a search and seizure of the offender’s person, residence, automobile, or other personal property.” “This threshold requirement protects an individual from random, suspicionless searches.” Cornwell, 190 Wn.2d at 304 .

2025Additionally, RCW 9.94A.631(1) states, “If there is reasonable cause to believe that an offender has violated a condition or requirement of the sentence, a [CCO] may require an offender to submit to a search and seizure of the offender’s person, residence, automobile, or other personal property.” A CCO “must have ‘reasonable cause to believe’ a probation violation has occurred before conducting a search at the expense of the individual’s privacy.” State v. Cornwell, 190 Wn.2d 296, 304 , 412 P.3d 1265 (2018).

2021RCW 9.94A.631(1) permits a warrantless search of a probationer’s property where the officer has “reasonable cause to believe that an offender has violated a condition or requirement of the sentence.” We have described “reasonable cause” as a “well-founded suspicion” and explained that it “requires specific and articulable facts and rational inferences.” State v. Parris, 163 Wn.

2018While the parties agree that we should determine the scope of a CCO's search consistent with RCW 9.94A.631, their positions on the nexus requirement reflect an ongoing split in the Court of Appeals. ¶ 18 The State asks us to endorse the line of reasoning in State v. Parris, where a Division Two panel concluded that "probationers do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their residences, vehicles, or personal belongings." 163 Wash.
