More details to this question:
I was arrested for driving a car without the owner’s consent. I showed papers, insurance, and license. The DA said that they weren’t filing charges on this but I got sent to a probation hearing and this specific DA said that they can prove I trespassed or break and enter. Is this legal?
1 ANSWER
Yes. Probation violation threshold is quite low, so just being arrested is enough. You should hire a lawyer instead of showing up at the PVH alone.
