How long do you think they will remain on there and will they lose their drivers license and if so for how long? Will they be able to get the charge off they record when they get off the probation?

It depends on what their sentence is. That is up to the courts.
For instance... i was put on probation for felony prescription fraud for 3 years with deferred adjudicaton. However, after doing 1.5 years i petitioned the courts to grant early release based on my performance. I was really serious (and still am) about leading the clean life and steering clear of trouble now, and my comm officer knew that.

Unfortunately, regardless of whether my sentence was deferred i still have to check "yes" in that little box that asks "have you ever been arrested?" on an employment form.

It's a hard lesson learned that will follow me for the rest of my life.

The way i understand it is, i will have to wait another 5 years to have the "arrest" not show up anymore... if i am lucky... and that is a big if.

Moral of the story... stay away from drugs.

And HO HO HO! Once you were arrested it goes on your record, every time you are pulled over or even looked at and ran through a data base, that Arrest will come up for the rest of your natural life. Irregardless of the outcome, the fact that you were arrested is on your record, add the outcome, Guilty, and its just twice as bad. Hate to spoil your day there, but even if you get the charges Exonerated,and Expunged,the Arrest Record remains.
It aint that bad, druther have a drug charge than an assualt. That way they might not be so trigger happy next time your pulled over.
Or whoever your talking about.

All of that info in on their court paperwork, it varies case to case because every court and every violation is different. Only your judge knows.
They could be on probation for years and they could loose their license if the violation involved driving too.
If they are over 18, the incident will remain on their record for a long time, unless ordered sealed by a judge.

The length of the probation is subject to the court and past criminal history. Whether the charges can be expunged at a later date are dependent upon the age of the accused. If the person is underage, it is likely that their driving privileges will be suspended. Everything hinges on the judge.

Whatever the judge orders ,no loss of license unless driving while on drugs. If it is a felony charge maybe not. If probation is violated ,they will go to jail or prison.

Depends on how much they were busted for, and how many previous effences they have had on drugs, plus theyre background criminal history. If it's a first effence then only probation w/ a few classes and maybe a restricted license, and a few fines. If its not a first effence than i couldn't tell ya.

you have to report to a probation officer on a specified basis and if is drug related you must submit to random urine testing and if you violate then you go before the judge for a violation of probation and hopefully wnt have to serve jail time
