 anyone familiar with the ARMS probation in NYC?

Hey everyone, its actually be a few years since I've been on this site and am quite please with the shroomery's expansion. unfortunately it is with terrible circumstances that i find myself browsing the site again.
About two and a half years ago I was moving from my house on long island to new jersey. due to a series of unfortunate events i wound up getting arrested at penn station in manhattan. i was put on a probation after court a few months later but, through divine intervention the fact that i was still a new york resident was overlooked when i told them i had been in the process of moving to new jersey. They gave me a bunch of copies of a questionaire that i had to send in (along with resitution money) indicating my address, work, new arrests, etc. To sum up - no reporting, no drug testing.
Now, with 7 months left the bastards make me return to new york and meet with a probation officer. they're trying to get the case transfered to jersey but my state wont accept it because its not a felony. now they want me to report to a machine (automated reporting and management system or ARMS) once a month to ask the same questions i was already answering with one addition - random drug testing.
Since i know when i have to report each month i wont have a problem with the testing with one inconvenient exception. I have to go for orientation to learn how to use the machine (which ive already used last month) one 5/14.
I know this is a shot in the dark but im looking for anyone who may be experienced with this reporting process. Im not sure if after orientation they're going to make me report to the machine and therefore possibly drug test me. If they do, I may be in trouble.
I clean out my system about two weeks ago for a drug test (whcih i passed) and have been smoking since. My plan was to go a week on and about 9 days off but old habits die hard and i found myself smoking at the end of each night. I really have no choice but to load up on water and eat a b-complex but id rather not do it if there's no chance of being tested.
Again, i realize the virtually nonexistant chance of someone reading this and replying in time but desperate times call for desperate measures. Thanks to anyone who managed to reach the end of this long post.

Don't smoke for a day or so before the date you go, buy a bottle of "Herbal Clean Qcarbo" at a health store. I pay about $25. It nolonger is allowed to give directions for passing a test but the directions are to drink the stuff 2 hours before you need to arrive wirh good amounts of water, it is then good for 6 hours, so it is ok to test, it has worked for me.

Its probably no longer allowed to give directions for passing a test becuase it is completely worthless in every way, or at least indistinguishable from a cup of coffee. In fact, I bet you'd do better w/ the coffee.

I don't know what it it is, but it works, i am just trying to help the guy. I used to have to go to the building downtown, the probation building, 9th floor & hand in a paper, asking if i had been rearrested or if i was on a methadone program, where my job was, and such. Look, the stuff works, i have passed several tests now & it has worked, just trying to offer help to the guy.

Unless you have a control, you do not know if the stuff works or if you got lucky or if you were clean enough or if the test was faulty, etc. All you know is that you took the stuff and passed. You might have passed with a cup of coffee as well. You might have passed with nothing at all. Without a control, your claim that the "stuff works" is meaningless.

What Seuss said
Plus, the only thing it could possibly do is act as a diuretic or simply overload the subject w/ fluids per the instructions of the drink.
The big problem, I see, is that many of these things don't say what's in them.
How can you decide whether the thing works, given no independant evidence of this, if there is no way to investigate the effects of the ingredients?
Its just an expensive fruit drink, w/ maybe a minor diuretic. Coffee is a diuretic too, only its effects have been proven.
