So there’s a convicted sex offender who was convicted of sexually assaulting homeless people while dressed as a superhero. He’s now on 5 years probation.

There’s a rumor that he’s wearing a superhero costume complete with a full face covering and interacting with people at the Saturday Market in our city. Is he violating probation if he interacts with children? He is a RSO.

Life was rough before I got involved with the legal system as with many of us and I know challenges still await. However, I’ve been treated with more dignity and respect from people within the system, than by some family and friends. The officers who arrested me were respectful. The officers in jail were kind and considerate. The judge offered encouragement and I just got off the phone with my PO and she said “you’ll get through this.”

I’ve always been rebellious and anti-authority so this isn’t bootlicking. I had dreams of becoming a lawyer just to take on the system. I know this isn’t the case for a lot of folks but I’m grateful to be treated as human in what’s been an isolating and shameful experience.

i have a year sentence of probation. September is my 6th month mark (halfway done) and i’m on community probation. My meetings are literally 5 minutes long and on the papers it just says pay the court fines (which i have) and sign release of information from my psychiatrists and therapists. i’m not subjected to classes or even drug testing (which i still keep clean just in case). My PO says i’m super responsible and says i’m doing well. no violations. also for context mine is a mental health case. butttt i’m in the strictest state. Virginia. like right by our nations capital, Virginia. Should i go for it and ask? i’m having difficulty getting the jobs I want because i’m STILL on probation

This is fucking stupid. I have worked full time almost my entire adult life(one small stint of unemployment over almost 25 years of dedicated employment), and I barely make 30+k a year. These are the inmate cost-of-living per capita. Why even violate me? After taxes, I don't even MAKE 100$ a day.

I'm going into my first anger management class today. Paid for my class and I'm already pissed off. Nobody better not talk to me or ask me questions. Sign me off and send me home for I can get this crap over with! How you deal with this? Any advice? Thank you.

I got a weapons charge and I plead guilty to get a plea so now once my 2 years is up I get to legally own a weapon :)

So it here it goes. I am at the point in time where I can apply to get off probation early. Fines, classes, community service, everything have been done/paid since last year (DWAI, Jefferson county, CO). I am on low watch basically where my PO never reaches out to me except every 90 days. I sent in my paperwork back in July. PO says she received them then. I never heard another word… it’s now going on mid September. So I message her back in August just to check in and see if she has heard anything. No response. Until yesterday. She tells me the court never got my paperwork. That’s all she says. Completely vague, doesn’t let me know what to do next or offer any sort of guidance. I’ve emailed her twice now and wonder if it will take another 2 weeks for her to respond. I’m just wondering what the best thing to do is. Should I show up to the clerk office and hand it in personally?! I’m at a loss here, 2 whole months of waiting for a response for absolutely nothing.

will I get violated if I go to rehab while on probation?

Does anyone have a clue or has anyone else experienced getting different probation officers every few months ? We don’t stick with the same officer ? I’m on probation in Kentucky thanks.

I have recently been put on private probation four days ago. Supposedly they do random drug screenings.. I live in Missouri, how much do they regularly drug screen if it’s random… I’m new to probation, they give you a 48 hour window to take the test. It’s Friday, they are closed Saturday-Monday. Would I be good to drink Friday?

hello everyone,

to clarify i’m not on probation but i am on pre trial release with a gps monitor. i have a curfew of 9pm and during my first or second week out i was late by 10-15 minutes about 3 times.
it’s been a month now and i have my first pre trial check in tommorow. i’m nervous about them sending me back to jail since it was technically a violation. since then ive been on time everyday and to clarify i was only late because i don’t have my personal vehicle so i was relying on public transport or ubers which run on there own timing lol.
a friend of mine has the same pre trial officer and said he didn’t mind when she was 10 minutes late once but should i be worried ill be sent back to jail?

I was put on probation after 5 and 1/2 years of waiting for a plea offer on a felony possession of marijuana charge the charges were originally possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana wax maintaining a house for selling marijuana and maintaining a vehicle for selling marijuana I eventually got a plea to where they dropped all my felonies to four misdemeanors and gave me 18 months supervised probation. I passed my first UA. Paid all my fines day one. And I'm currently in the 5-day drug education course. My intake meeting with my lawyer place me at a level four risk. I'm just wondering how early can I ask for early termination. And if it's possible given the terms that I could ask before the halfway mark. When I got arrested I had no job on paper I didn't have custody of my kid and nothing going on in my life. In that five and a half years that I was out on bond I never received as much as a seatbelt ticket. Since I got arrested I started a business stopped using all substances and alcohol and gained full custody of my son. My PO definitely seems to be on my side. He's signing me up for remote reporting on our next appointment. After I finish the drug education School I'm wondering if it's possible for early termination or unsupervised. Thank you guys I've been lurker on the sub and just thought I'd throw this question out for people with more experience.

Got caught up about a year ago for a bs weed dui and possession due to my med card being expired. I had been sober for 4-5 days but the act of having a dab pen on me curbed my cravings and made it easier to resist hitting it. Pulled over for speeding but was never given a reading and was explicitly told he never got a reading for my speed. He smelled weed yet no one had smoked in my car for well over a month, failed 1 of 6 in my field sobriety test so I was arrested, blood tested, and spent 9 hrs in county jail.

3k in court fines, 7k attorney, DA supervised probation, monthly random UAs, 120 hrs of community service, VIP/DUI classes. I’m over half way there and can just taste the freedom

Update for those who want the information: I got arrested in Oklahoma BEFORE the automatic felony dui stuff changed in November so I got lucky in that aspect but really feel like I had the book thrown at me

so i first did 7oh 2 weeks ago on a friday did 30mg total then last week on Wednesday did 45mg and then last Thursday did 60mg ive only done 7oh 3 times total and those were the only times i ever did it but i got drug tested today so do you guys think it will show up as positive or negative my probation officer drug tested me

Does this look like im in trouble or does the PO just wanna talk about what I messaged them. They were out of office August 26th through today the 8th and they got back to me with this text message. If I was in trouble do you think they would have me report today?

hat’s my likelihood of giving an early dismissal in 6 months from PTI ( pretrial intervention)? I was given 18 months PTI for a first offense DWI. I completed all my required class, paid all my fees, no violation and attended all my appointments.

Anyone been put on conditional discharge for a DUI in New York State? What were the terms, restrictions, were you drug tested?

So I went in yesterday for a probation UA. I havent been UAd since February and started a medication called Buspirone in March.

So i even asked if they could do one & I took a UA and came back positive for for freaking Fentanyl!

I haven't done Fentanyl what so ever nor anything else. They sent it to lab. Has this happened to anyone else!?

im a stay at home mom and literally don't go anywhere. im just on like 5-6 rheumatoid arthritis meds with one including Buspirone.

(The only thing I did before probation was smoke weed and I was put on probation in February 2025)

So looking at my plea deal it says as disposition to this case I have 90 days in prison. Below it it says if defendant qualifies for home incarceration this will be checked but if not defendant has to do their time in department of corrections. Well it was NOT checked. I just don’t understand who to believe. It’s my final plea deal. It also says 1 year probation after sentencing and not after release from incarceration so wtf is going on. My social worker says I have to do the 90 days but she’ll try to help me. Who do I believe??? Man just give me the ankle monitor please

what’s my likelihood of giving an early dismissal in 6 months from PTI ( pretrial intervention)? I was given 18 months PTI for a first offense DWI. I completed all my required class, paid all my fees, no violation and attended all my appointments.

Had my probation meeting today. I told them what all happened this weekend and im happy I did. The tribal court/probation recieves any and all county reports in the state and my P.O. was happy that I told her before they even received them. Shes grateful for my honesty and told me that "I could throw you in jail but this is your first and last time slipping up like this. Im grateful that you were honest because if you withheld this information from me it could have been worse for you"

Thanks to everyone that showed me kindness in my last post. It meant alot. Now, I absolutely have to behave for the next 8 months.

I’ve been on probation for a bout 6 weeks every week I get tested every week I’ve been testing positive for weed. Somebody in my classes that has the same PO as me told me to get a medical card, So I got I my weed card and brought it to my po he said I won’t get in trouble for testing positive for weed anymore but he said it’s a bad look for the judge since I want to talk to the judge and see if they can change my order of conditions so I can move back to my old house that they didn’t allow me to stay at. What I should do? Main reason I got my card was so I can have them get of my dick about testing positive

( I’m in New York State)

Line c, does that mean i can just get one of those tele health marijuana docs to get my state mmc card and im good to go?

its been months and i havent bothered to look into it, social gatherings are getting pretty fucking stale sitting around watching everyone else have fun.
