If you're on probation in Michigan and get a positive test result on a SCRAM tether for alcohol use, but you haven't consumed any alcohol, how can you defend yourself?
You would want to seek corroborative testing, preferably immediately and preferably through the probation office. You can speak to a criminal defense lawyer about the possibility of obtaining your own test, but I've seen prosecutors and probation officers be highly resistant to accepting privately obtained test results as a basis to dispute a probation violation.
