WTF?! My probation got violated?!!!
    #12402145 - 04/16/10 04:29 AM (13 years, 10 months ago)

What the f'ing fuck?! I just got a letter in the mail from the court system that my probation was violated and there is a warrant for my arrest.  The reason given was for missing an appointment.  Thing is, I haven't missed any?!!!! My last appointment was March 16th and my next one is April 21.  I only go in once a month. I went to my feb and jan ones as well.  I don't get any kind of receipt though for going because I prepaid all my cost of supervision. I just go, fill out the form, talk to her, and she tells me my next day.  I'm going to call my lawyer in the morning and try to straighten everything out, but I'm kinda freaking out.  this could be kinda tough. I'm sure my lawyer will tell me to call her and talk to her, try to jog her memory that I was, in fact, there, but my whole visit lasts only a matter of minutes, and I'm sure she sees a bunch of people all day long (then again, I am damn sexy.....:hi: lol)...

I just really hope I can straighten this out and don't wind up having to bail myself out (again).  I mean, I know I can beat the violation.  My truck was broke last time (which, I'm assuming, is the one she thinks I missed), and I had a friend give me a ride there, so I can bring him into court and have him testify. hopefully that'll be enough.  This is the first time there's ever been any issues with it, never missed an appt and did all the community service and required classes. (i don't get pissed, thank god) so hopefully this will be fairly easy to straighten out, but, I'm sure she's kinda a bitch.

I know this doesn't help you now but in the future I'd ask for your own copies of documentation.  I've found that in a probation situation you cannot trust anyone to do their paperwork because the system itself faces no repercussions for not staying up to date, you face the consequences for their actions or lack thereof. 

Make sure on your copies your probation officer signs and dates each copy and if possible have an additional witness counter-sign.

yeah, thats definitely the plan from now on.
My lawyer said once she has violated she can't unviolate me. But he posted the bond for me so at least I don't have to worry about that. He spoke to the guy who gave me a ride already and said that should be enough, especially since I've got everything else taken care of as far as the probation goes, only contact with the police was a routine traffic stop that I didn't even get ticketed, I've done all my comm. service and stuff, so hopefully, it should be pretty straight forward and easy in court. He said to get a letter from my boss verifying work, that I'm a productive employee, etc, and to also bring in my college transcripts as well.  all this for a fucking DUI like I'm some common criminal......

oh well, court is tuesday. hopefully it goes good.

You are.  You could've killed someone.  You deserve everything you get if you choose to drive drunk IMO.

I did not say that the DUI was retarded and that there never should have been charges.
I realize how big a risk driving drunk was, and won't ever do it again. it was a stupid mistake that I made after a christmas party at work. I blew just over the limit.

I'm not a common criminal bro, by common criminal I'm referring to the kind of people you don't trust around valuables/kids/pets/elderly alone.  I made a mistake that 2/3 of the population makes in their lifetime (not get charged necessarily, just drive). 

DUI's are no laughing matter, they are a risk and it puts everybody, including the driver's, life at risk.

DUI is a serious matter to me, i have had 4 friends killed in a car crash becuase of a DUI, so saying it's no big deal is not true.

I don't know how half of this posted up above and half here??? but it should all be one post.
I did not say that the DUI was retarded and that there never should have been charges.
I realize how big a risk driving drunk was, and won't ever do it again. it was a stupid mistake that I made after a christmas party at work. I blew just over the limit.

I'm not a common criminal bro, by common criminal I'm referring to the kind of people you don't trust around valuables/kids/pets/elderly alone.  I made a mistake that 2/3 of the population makes in their lifetime (not get charged necessarily, just drive). 

DUI's are no laughing matter, they are a risk and it puts everybody, including the driver's, life at risk.
I did my time in jail for it, I paid my fines, did my community service (Actually went over because I was having a good time :smile:), and I haven't drank and drove since, nor will ever again.  So please, don't judge me, because unless you've NEVER taken a sip and got behind the wheel, you're no better than me. Besides, the criminal justice system has already done a perfectly fine job at judging me, because thats the JUDGE's job, not John Q. Public's.

And again DOCUMENT the fact that you made the call, the time you made the call, who exactly you spoke to.  Show the court that you mean business and they'll know you've got your shit together.

because she can't undo the VOP once its been done, I'm going to let my lawyer handle any contact with her between now and court. I don't want it to be played off as "harassing" her or giving her a hard time or anything like that.

Just call your PO.

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus.
All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the
octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV.
But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns.
Also he got a race car.
Is any of this getting through to you?
