Explain the Supreme Court's decision in Samson v. California
What will be an ideal response?
In Samson v. California (547 U.S. 843 [2006]), the Supreme Court extended its earlier probation decision to parole supervision.

It stated, "Parolees, who are on the ‘continuum' of state imposed punishments, have fewer expectations of privacy than probationers, because parole is more akin to imprisonment than probation is"
