MIP Before College

[troythemac]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: California and Washington.

I am an 18-year old living in California, and I was cited with an MIP a few months back. When I went to court, I was sent to a diversion program, (ADS) which has been going fine thus far. Because I was going to Washington before my program was going to end, I was going to be allowed to send my last months payment for the program from Washington. However, it turns out that I need to go to Washington for college and work right now, due to sports for college and a job opportunity. Herein lies the problem.

Will I be able to do community service or AA meetings in Washington that can be used for my program in California, or will the program have to be abandoned, and will I have to go back to court. If that happens, is there any way I could get a court date in the next week, or do any possible community service in Washington, because I don't have the money to be coming back to California at all. Or, is there any way the ADS could delay a possible court date until I am back from school on a break? I leave in 10 days!!!

I need an answer quickly, and can give any more info if needed. Thank you for your time!

Tomorrow (Monday) start calling whomever you have coordinated your ADS program through and find out the answers to your questions. You may not be allowed to continue in WA ... or, maybe you can. Maybe you can complete it early. You won't know until you ask the people in charge.

Anything might be possible but that does not mean it WILL be.
