QUESTION
What is going to happen if it was mandatory for me to only test in the morning and I technically violated my probation?
Asked on Nov 01st, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Michigan
More details to this question:
Four months ago, I was put on once a week random PBT testing in the morning (I tested clean for all). Just recently as of October 24, I was put on actual probation where I meet with my probation officer once a month and I only PBT test on holidays. This morning was a mandatory day to test and I have been extremely sick, I have been taking medicine that makes me sleep, so I didn't wake up to any of my alarms and missed the time to test. When I woke up and realized I missed it, I went to the police station and took a PBT test then I called my probation officer, she said to do an ETG test in the evening so I did and I was clean.

Sounds like you did what you could under the circumstances. It is ultimately up to your po to decide if you should be violated. Could be the solution was the addl test which you apparently passed. So doesn't sound like you're in trouble. BE CAREFUL with cold Meds that help you sleep. They usually have alcohol in them!

You should be okay since you took the ETG. I doubt if your probation officer will violate you.

It will be up to your PO on whether or not to violate you. If she does, retain an experienced criminal lawyer in your area with experience in handling probation violations. You don't want to risk going to jail over this.

You followed your probation officers orders so do not worry about it.

Depends upon your probation officer and how compliant you have been. If you have followed the rules in the past and this was your first goof up, probably nothing. On the other hand your probation could be extended, revoked etc.

You need to show up to court and hopefully negotiate a non-jail outcome. It will help if you have qualified counsel.
