Can a probation officer's report show that a defendant had contact with a police force that was never charged?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Morales, 122 Cal.Rptr. 804, 49 Cal.App.3d 732 (Cal. App. 1975):

Defendant complains of the fact the probation officer's report showed 'defendant's 'police contacts' in connection with which defendant was neither convicted nor charged' and cites People v. Calloway, 37 Cal.App.3d 905, 908, 112 Cal.Rptr. 745, as a basis for his complaint. The record before the court does not justify the conclusion the judge placed any reliance on that part of the probation officer's report to which defendant objects. The reports from the diagnostic facility pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.03 were of major importance.
