Because she's on probation. Let me explain probation to you real quick. In America, when you commit a crime you go to jail. Some lucky people can convince the court to not put them in jail, and instead get probation. Probation means "We're being EXTREMELY nice and not letting you sit in a jail cell. But you have some rules to follow while you're out there".

People seem to think probation is punishment. No, probation is someone getting to do their sentence outside of a jail cell with very strict circumstances.

Also, while in jail and on probation. You do not have all your normal rights. Just like a prisoner doesn't "have the right to facebook", if the judge decides you aren't keeping up the morals he would like you to while on probation and wants your facebook page removed for the remainder. You do it, or you go to jail. That's how probation works. If she didn't want to be on probation and live by the judge's rules, then she could have just sat her happy ass in jail from the beginning.

Fucking GFY. I swear is filled with morons.
