Answer 1

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!

What a sack of less than appetizing orders have been written by all those badge-bearing bullies or badge-bearer wannabees..

DO NOT TELL ANYBODY ANYTHING.

That is what the Miranda decision is all about. They already have everything about you that they need to know.

By alerting your p.o. to something that he/she/it has obviously been too lazy to get around to finding out on his/her own however many weeks ago that your newest case hit the state's computerized reporting system, you are only going to embarass your p.o. to blazes, who will then be angry enough with you that you learned of his/her/it's laziness that he/she/it will do whatever it takes to make you appear to be even less upright a citizen than before, which, I guarantee, will wind up making your life a whole lot less fun than it already is.

There is absolutely nothing illegal nor immoral about keeping secrets, and this is one secret that I really do beleive you should keep to yourself, for as long as the statute of limitations might still be in effect.

If the p.o. does learn about it, it will likely be learned from his/her/its supervisor, which is the best person in the whole wide world to learn of his/her/its laziness: someone in a position of authority to remove his/her/its lazy abs from office.

Please don't get me wrong: possession of marijuana in my locality is no longer considered a crime, and the US Attorney General rather recently acknowledged it, and although I believe that everyone should begin learning how to handle their licqor at the youngest of ages, instead of making most college campuses and college-age-hangouts the most dangerous places on earth (just ask the family of that recently found Kansas young woman) but I do not believe that you should be breaking the laws of your own locality.

So, stop carrying more cannibus than is legal where you're at, and stop carrying ethanol until you're old enough that people stop caring about you, okay?

Oh, and another thing you should do, perhaps the most important thing of all, is start looking into a support group to help you prevent yourself from finding yourself wanting to experiment with other forms of substances to abuse, which is what so many who find themsleves wanting alcohol and having it taken away from them, and wanting THC and having it taken away from them, wind up starting to do.

STAY AWAY from METH and CRACK, and HEROIN, and anything else you might wind up wanting to try.

Alcohol and marijuana are just little bitty mood-benders compared to those other hard-core addictors.

And there are a whole lot more substances out there to be abused by kids like you who are no longer allowed to indulge in the same things that your parents and their buddies are allowed to indulge in.

It won't be easy, but it will be well worth it to STAY away from it all as absolutely much as you can.

Once you do find such a support group, THAT is the only thing you should share with your p.o. that he doesn't already know.

Answer 2

Lets clear a few things up:
1. Municipal court is criminal court. They can send you to jail.
2. Counties within the same state talk. Automatically. Daily. The distance does not matter.
3. You are required as a condition of your probation to inform your PO of all police contacts.

Tell him. Hard to say what he will do. Depends a lot of how well you have complied.

From what I understand about probation, you can be violated based on when the incident occurred, not on when your PO discovers the violation. Scooting by may not help you.

Answer 3

davidmi711 has nailed the answer on this, it has no bearing how far the counties are apart, nor the charge going to muni court.

Read your probation papers. They can violate you after your probation is over if the violation occured during your probation.

By lying or omitting your most recent transgression when you meet your PO, you are setting yourself up for failure. Typically POs will run you (NCIC/CCIC) peridically especially prior to a meeting, and especially prior to the end of your probation. A simple "QQ" will show the issuing officer ran you when he gave you the ticket. Most probation officers will contact the officer to find out why.

The city attorney will also run you prior to your court date. He/She will see you are on probation and contact your probation officer for their input.

Either way your PO will find out, and will be p!ssed...you can even man up and tell the PO, of be a ***** and get caught anyway...

Answer 4

Tell the truth to your PO. It will be better than him finding out about it another way.

Answer 5

dont tell them and sneak it by....or they will violate you..once its over and your off probation its all said and done and they will no longer be tracking your crap....the alternative is telling them and possibly getting violated and going to jail....

Answer 6

1. tell your po

2. for God's sake stop breaking the law
