It part of your probation is a requirement that you can alcoholic's anonymous meetings, then not attending those meetings, it is a violation of your probation. Your probation can then be revoked. If your probation is revoked, you may be sentenced to county jail.

Is attending AA a condition of your bail or probation or the alcohol program? If so you cannot refuse to attend AA as you will be in violation of one of the conditions.

Not if it is part of your probation requirements. Failure or refusal to go to AA meetings could be seen As a violation of your probation and could result in your being sent to jail.

Depends have they placed you on probation and required AAs as a condition of probation. If so, not doing it is a violation of probation.

You can refuse to attend, but if it was made a condition of your pre-trial release or a portion of your sentence you will probably end up back in jail. Unfortunately, part of the criminal process is game playing and if you violate the rules the judge can punish you.

Depends where you are in your case. Have you already been convicted? Is it a condition of OR?
