My sister is a judge, and while she said that the officer can tell you the smell makes him sick and ask you not to wear it, he cannot refuse to see you because you are wearing it, or as you said it's in your jacket lining. You need to see his supervisor about this, and explain the situation. Unfortunately he's pulling a power trip on you, more than likely because of your appearance(you did say long hair and tatoos,right?) and while it's not fair,it happens. My husbands hair is past his shoulders, he's a musician and fairly recognizable. He does a lot of charity performances and has even played for the policemans ball(hey the money was good) however he was in my car one day going to the airport and a sheriff deputy stopped him and seeing clothes and bags in the back had the balls to ask him if he lived in his car. This officer knew who my husband was yet had the authority to pull him over and ask such an asinine question. My sis says while its not fair they do it anyway, but that yu should talk to someone about it.

I think that this is the best advice given. You should not let yourself be treated the way you have, doesn't matter why you are on probation. You are doing what you should on your end to earn respect, and your PO needs to do the same.

My mom said (a lawyer and wearer of Patchouli oil) that if your PO finds it offensive, he can't tell you not to wear it, but he can refuse to see you. She suggests you wear a different jacket next time.
