Georgia State Probation?
Question by Tammy B: georgia state probation?
I understand that a person must follow the rules once placed on probation. But my son was placed on intense probation in Lowndes County, for 8 years for meth use. He was not ever drug tested, nor had a home visit in 11 months. Now he has been arrested again, with less than $ 1.00 street value of meth, and is going to be sentenced to 9 years in prison, as well as having probation revoked. His probation officer(former police officer) is not willing to let him enter rehab, then go to prison. What is a person to do in this situation. He has a good lawyer who see’s the probation mess up as not a real issue to address! [email protected]

He shouldn’t have to be tested. He knows that the terms of his probation prohibit use. They also (apparently)prohibit possession. Where do YOU think the other $ 20 worth went? DUH.
Sounds like you are condoning his actions.
Some mom.
Do you want him dead from meth, or to go thru a painful rehabilitation with others that have “been there, done that”? Sounds like he needs a good hard sentence to get him away from the stuff- AND HIS ENABLERS.
A good lawyer will smile and tell you what you want to hear and take your money, and KNOW that your kid did the crime, and will sit in jail.

the conditions of probation should have required him to commit no crimes except what he considers to be small crimes. What a crock! I suppose you believe that he was otherwise complying and that this was the first time he had meth in his pocket during the probationary period. Furthermore, it is not the probation officer’s decision that counts. The judge decides whether to revoke probation and whether one goes to prison. There is no rule of law, however, that requires an occassional freebie. A judge is perfectly entitled to require perfection as a condition of probation. One who isn’t willing to meet that standard should first decline the probation and go directly to prison.
