court's imposition of restitution as additional condition of probation was not punitive in nature and therefore did not affect

to include sex offender evaluation and treatment was proper; Office of Adult Probation had authority under the statute to
add an additional condition of probation; sexual offender treatment is clearly enumerated in Subsec. (a) and could have
been imposed by sentencing court; and at any time during the period of probation, after hearing and for good cause shown,
court may modify or enlarge the conditions of probation pursuant to Subsec. (c). 57 CA 112. Failure to deliver a written
copy of conditions of probation did not excuse subsequent probation violation and did not invalidate resulting probation
revocation. 58 CA 153. Condition required by Office of Adult Probation was inconsistent with those required by court.

curfew restriction on defendant at the start of his probationary period without a court hearing and a showing of good cause,

from defendant's failure to restrain an animal from doing injury to another animal in violation of Sec. 53-247(a) was proper
because such bills met statutory requirement of "fruits" for which the court may order restitution and such order did not
violate "due process" because court was justified in concluding that defendant had means of earning income during the
period set for restitution. 84 CA 542. Trial court's order of specialized sex offender treatment as condition of probation
