As many already know, earlier this year I was successful in discharging my SHPO. Upon leaving the court room I spoke with my barrister and asked him regarding visits made by PPU which he confirmed would no longer take place.

I contacted the offender manager yesterday as a college I was applying to for a course (due to them having my information previously), asked me to contact him to confirm if the SOR restricts me from entering college grounds. I spoke with the officer about the college and said he would pop over to pay me a visit some time in the week.
He showed up this morning waking me up, and basically conducted a visit like he has previously. I refused access to my devices because that is now my right, but he then stated "this is why we did not want the SHPO to end". He proceeded to ask me the same usual questions going further asking me to provide IMEI numbers to my phone which he should already have..
He asked for permission to look around which I said yes too, as it was only a visual inspection to confirm no one else was here. Then basically threatened me saying "Its just easier letting us as it would then mean getting warrants to let us looked around". Then he asked me about wearing ankle monitors in which he said was "optional", Of course I refused.

So my question is, should the PPU be even conducting visits with out a SHPO? or does being on the SOR still give them access to enter my property, if I allowed it? I have contacted the same solicitor who handled my discharge of the SHPO but waiting on a call back.

Any one else still getting visits even with out a SHPO?

Comments like "this is why we didn't want the SHPO to end" and randomly bringing up ankle monitors, sound particularly infuriating.
I got a new ppu, my 4th with this force, and I got the whole "we have software to check if anything's been deleted now". It's these veiled threats which are so tiresome.
Do remember you're now unspent though, your conviction is officially in the past, that's the huge freedom I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for. So do try and brush off these unhelpful inconveniences for the last few years, which is easier said than done.

 "we have software to check if anything's been deleted now". 

I love it when cops think they're being smart like this. Yes it's call undelete software and normal people have been using it since the 1980s.
