QUESTION
What are the chances that the judge will give me a UA when I go back to court and what happens if I fail?
Asked on Mar 13th, 2014 on DUI/DWI - Georgia
More details to this question:
I fulfilled all but one obligation assigned by the judge upon my DUI sentencing. I have 20 treatment "classes" to attend and have only been to 4 so far. I'm still going and progressing very well. Fact is I wouldn’t have been able to complete 20 classes in 3 months anyhow since they are once a week so I have to reappear next Friday. Unfortunately, being truthful during the evaluation has not worked in my favor since the judge seems to be turning this into more of a marijuana issue than a DUI issue. What are the chances he will give me a UA when I go back to court and what happens if I fail? Before joining the Army 12 years ago it took 86 days to clear from my system and I didn’t cheat even once. Will I immediately go to jail? Will he let me continue treatment? Please help.

Stop using now, as for what the judge is likely to do I would need to review the details and the terms of your probation or sentence. I

DUI is NOT limited to just alcohol. A DUI is driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. That includes marijuana! Yes, the judge could order a UA, if he/she has reasonable cause to believe you are in violation. Non-compliance with the court's order is reasonable cause. If your UA comes up dirty, you will probably go to jail. It is ultimately up to the judge.
