Montana Supreme Court

State v. C. Ledeau

December 17, 20242024 MT 305

Summary

The court held that probation conditions authorizing broad electronic-device searches and requiring disclosure of intimate partners were unreasonable because they lacked a sufficient nexus to Ledeau’s offense or individual circumstances and were overbroad or redundant. The court reversed and remanded for the conditions to be stricken. The court did not reach the constitutional challenges because the conditions were invalid under the statutory requirements governing probation restrictions.
