First probation meeting tommorow
#5575717 - 04/30/06 10:45 PM (17 years, 8 months ago) |

Any tips? Its mildly drug related (just weed) which stemmed from another offense.
I need it to go well, So ill be able to work a long job thats about 45 minutes from my house over the summer, and so my probation can end early so I can leave the state for college (told by judge that ill be able to go as long as I stay clean)
Problem is ive heard from friends that my officer is a total and complete bitch. Any tips on playing my cards right??
Oh and my mom wants to come in with me, since this is an important meeting. Im pretty sure it wouldnt be appropriate, is this common, or acceptable?

Remember that they are control freaks. Always let them think they are in charge. Be polite,do what they say needs to be done.
I'm doing 5 years probation(growing shrooms) and trying to get off early also. So far all is going well for me.
Good Luck

they might drug test you. Not positive but I heard that you are allowed to fail it the first time. You should try to drink a lot of water and see if you can pass it anyway... It all depends on the probation officer, you might not even get tested

Im about a month into probation, and have taken 3 drug tests so far, plus the pre-sentencing screening. I am ordered to take 2 a month, so I doubt she will test me.

I agree and disagree with SuperBob, tell them that you messed up and that you are trying to correct it and become an adult since you are going off to college, but find out what he/she likes in life by observing their office or asking them a question. Then act real smart and tell him or her what you enjoy to do(school related), then from then on out you and your officer will get along just find and it will turn into a meeting that he/she just talks to you about your favorite topics after they ask you the routine questions like 1. are you still at this address? 2. still your phone number? 3. Go to school? 4. Paid your probation bill? 5. Still have your same job?
I am in probation and go to college and hit it off with the guy the first visit. Seems to be he is interested in architural structures just as I. You would also be suprised if you go in there with just a little knowledge and share some of it on how polite and friend-like they are after. Remember they have to deal with fuck-ups all the time, so if you enlighten their day a little talking about something they like, they will make sure ya'll have a good connection.
Peace

They've got access to most of your information/history. Be polite, dress nicely, and listen. No need to speak much. If you have a good academic history or work history or volunteering history, let that speak for itself.
I'd say as little as possible and let the PO do the talking.
Good luck.
