More details to this question:
My sister's probation officer is my Uncle through marriage? We don't get along and he is taking it out on her. In one month, he has asked for 5 UA's on a deferred DWAI case. Is this considered a conflict of interest? Can she ask for a new probation officer?

It might be a reason to get a different PO.

Sounds like there could be a conflict of interest.

In most counties that would be considered a conflict, she should request a new Probation Officer.
