First time posting on here so bear with me. I'm a 21 year old with no priors and in college for mechanical engineering. March of this year I got an OVI but my lawyer was able to drop it to a reckless op, which I'm beyond thankful for. I have a few questions about my probation though. When I first met my probation officer I was dressed up in a suite, was very polite, said yes sir, thank you, made eye contact as needed, and overall gave a respectable impression on him. He said I have to do 16 hours of community service, the 72 hour drug and alcohol class, and do a MADD class before I see him mid September. I will have everything completed by the time I see him next week and he said that when I see him again he will put me on unsupervised probation for the next 9 months. I'm kind of tweaking though because I just recently got 2 noise complaint tickets which just so happen to be a freaking misdemeanor for having the music too loud in my apartment over the weekend. I know it's not a major offense but he did say that if I get in trouble again (arrested, criminal charge, idk) then it will be a problem and I will finish my original sentence which was 5 days in the local jail. I really cannot afford to go to jail, I'm just starting my classes again and for you all that are in college you know that a missed day of classes is enormous. Let alone 5 days of missed classes. I'm just hoping someone on here can give me some sort of reassurance. Thanks, hope it wasn't too long
How come every fucker on this forum is either on probation or being drug tested? Sounds hard work smoking in America
Well you need to be proven guilty of the misdemeanor. So you'll have to get a lawyer and hope they can get the misdemeanors thrown out. I'm surprised that's a misdemeanor, you must have been warned prior to that.
