Well, I don’t consider myself a legal scholar, but I know we have at least one or two banging around, so here’s the terms of O’Keefe’s probation from his little wiretap stunt back in ‘10. But just being a layman, I can already see that he might be considered in violation of his probation:

The defendant shall not associate with any persons engaged in criminal activity and shall not associate with any person convicted of a felony, unless granted permission to do so by the probation officer

Doesn’t seem like he was just associated, but actively participated in the crime.
