Although I do not practice law in the State of New York, here are my initial impressions. While I cannot advise anyone to lie to an officer, I can tell you that if the probation officer finds out, your friend will risk having the probation violated, which may trigger a period of incarceration. Your friend should do everything he/she can do to comply with the conditions of probation. Good luck.
