Probation Officer? Help!

---

I was recently busted for possesion of Marijuana in the state of California. I am 17 (minor) and I had under an ounce, making it a misdemeanor. I understand that I could have my license taken away and I can be fined up to 100 dollars. I am mostly worried about getting a probation officer. If anyone knows if a probation officer is possible, or not, please tell me what you know. If you know a website that shows this information, please put it in your post.

a PO is a real bitch to bear. They can enter your home anytime they feel the need and do so often, no warrant is needed for a search and they search often. A single beer in your parents fridge is enough to lock your ass up as is any firearms in the house where you reside.I don't know about California but in Utah they tend to make peoples lives hell, and i guess that is their job. Pricks are good at it though. EDIT: actually I thought about it after I hit continue but does a probation officer have the same rights to fuck with you as a parole officer? Iv only dealt with parole.

ehh I just started talking and realized after that I didn't know what I was talking about since i had only dealt with Parole Officers and not Probation, wasn't sure if they have the same rights or not since I know here in Utah there is both probation and parole officers I wasn't sure if they did the same thing and just had different titles?anyways I am reformed, no more criminal fun for me so I no longer have to worry about stupid shit like that. Its cheaper too, After I was 18 I didn't get convicted of anything because I paid a premium to my attorneys and always had the best.f Cost me a god damned fortune, I save so much money not doing stupid shit ever day any more.

Thanks for the info, looks like it mostly comes down to what the judge feels like doing.

You will probably get probation, and have to take some drug classes. You will get randomly tested for drugs, so dont even bother trying to pull anything. Just stay clean during.

I just got back from court. They gave me a $50 fine, 16 hours community service, and I have to write a 750 word essay on the effects of marijuana on the brain. I even got to keep my license.

Your pretty fricking lucky!In Texas, your nutbag would be hanging from the judges chamber wall....I wonder how long it will be before you get high again!

In reply to: I have to write a 750 word essay on the effects of marijuana on the brain. When you complete this, could you pass it on to certain others ahem here so they can benifit from your knowledge?

Damn you Helms!If Steve ever returns I'm telling on you!Honestly, if it were me the copy I turned into the judge I would format and include references, it just shows that your thinking and not totally uneducated, looks more professional too.Call it kissing ass if you like but a judge who has reasonable power over you is an ass Id kiss.Want some help? a good start pro side somewhat pro, but leaning neutral The last one includes references in footnotes to where the authors info came from.I'm not suggesting you give a report to a court stating lets get high mutha fuck'ahs! but.... If its an essay you have to write you get to write it with accuracy!It was on the effects of MJ not its legalization. You could portray the actual documented effects, or you could do the smarter thing and say its bad bad bad! cover your ass a bit more or be more accurate, its your choice.Good luck, and trust me on this, HE WILL READ IT. I had one I had to write on drugs when I got popped in High School and figured it was all about eh words and it would never be read so I stuck bullshit things in the middle of sentences,"hiya buddy!, did you actually read this far or am I wasting my time writing all this shit?"things like that.a week later I got to the notice I was going on a six month vacation to the juvy correctional facility oh joy!Don't fuck it up and be a dick like I was, they will read it and its your ass thats going to pay for it.

learn your lesson. I have a PO i have to meet with her once a month, drug test do 3 NA meets a week, take classes, register as a drug affender. it sounds bad and i dunno if i can get a different job. But a PO is nothing to worry about, you just check in for like 5 mins.

My sister in law is a PO, but she's fairly new at it, and so just has her 'clients' checking in with her however often their supposed to and tries to convince them it's in their best interests not to do anything that'll get them sent to prison. Also, I live in the UK so i'm not sure how much difference there is between what they're allowed to do here and in America.

"I shall call him squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my squishy"srry but i just gotta say,thats one of my favorite parts of the whole movie!
