In my state, anyone on probation is prohibited from consuming alcohol or any other drug not obtained at a licensed pharmacy with a valid prescription. With medical marijuana now being legal, this could create more issues. DOC has not yet caught up with the new laws. They’re denying visitors from entering prisons if the drug dog hits on them, despite having a medical marijuana card. I’m sure we will soon hear about someone being sent back to prison when they fail a UA for marijuana. Since it is not obtained in a pharmacy, it doesn’t fall within the language of the law.

Not really mine say I cant drink to excess. but it’s to the po.s interpretation of what excess means

Yeah every once in a while a judge has a heart. Mine listened because he was good friends with my attorney. My attorney would not have spoken with the judge and put his neck out there if he did not agree that the previous judge had a grudge against me (and anyone with any accusation of sexual nature). She insulted my lawyer so badly he had to be excused several times. She made it personal so, so did my lawyer.
The only thing I wish he had done different was to encourage me to get a public defender when I ran out of money instead of pleading guilty to things I did and DIDN’T do.We basically gave the prosecution everything they asked for and more. I got the MAX for every charge with NO mercy even though I had never even had a parking ticket in my life, was a college grad, etc.
Where are those time machines already? I think I would have to go back to age 6 to fix all the issues with my past.

Good Day CherokeeJack….

Yes, some Judges have Hearts and Souls….

At My Sentencing, My Judge, a 64 year Female with an Impeccable Judicial Record actually withheld tears at my sentencing of 10 years SO Probation and she took the Initiative to allow me to Travel the World, with Passport(as at the time there was no IML) and gave me ‘phone-in’ allowances which meant I had to only call into announce to the Probation of my travel plans…at the end of my sentencing, She Retired from the Bench….
…and, yes, I am writing a novel….’stay tuned…news at eleven!’

Yeah man I’ll t was when probation makes up their own rules. The DOC video they show in the probation office says if you own your own business they need your business license and tax returns somehow pO wants way more that that and have no problem taking your rights from you If you let them you gotta pay more money go back to court to have a judge make them follow their job and law.

I do not know if it is one house but one guy owns the entire compound and only rents to offenders. Many times when I register there is a van that drives them all over to register at once if there are enough who register in the same month

Back when I still had some money, I thought of buying up my old neighborhood and doing the same thing. I spoke with my insurance agent and she said “Good luck getting insurance for those homes”.
Hoping my parents do not get dropped now since I have to live with them since I no longer work. Most of the neighbors have known me since I was a kid, just the newbies who have moved onto the street I have to worry about.

Glad ( not for you ) that I am not the only one who had to sell 3 kidneys to pay for my defense only to get the same outcome I could have gotten myself.
Am I blaming the lawyer? Yes. He should have stepped aside when I was out of money and told the judge to offer me a public defender. Instead he said “Just plead guilty to all the charges and we can barter for some to be thrown out” Well guess the Hell what. I was sentenced for ALL of the charges with NOTHING in return. I spent all of my $60,000 and that is like a million for a 20 something year old kid ( ME ) at the time. I had been saving since I was 12 years old and worked since I was 13.
YES I did get myself into the situation but pisses me off the prosecution adds on tons of false charges for trial to bargain with but if you do not go to trial, you get charged with everything they faked on your charges.
The attorney did redeem himself years later getting my sentence quashed but that was also not free but he gave me a heck of a deal and promised a 70% chance of getting it dropped before the new judge who he was a close personal friend of. (Touche’ prosecution, we can play dirty pool as well)
I also got a freebee a few years back when the FDLE had 15 charges listed on my offender page when it should have been one but we settled with them for three. I had a single incident which they made to look like 15 different victims. Lawyer did not charge me at all for that one as we did not have to go to court and he directly contacted FDLE. Won’t do that again though as right after that they changed me from 2 times a year reg to 4 times a year.
