    Default What Exceptions Exist to a Probation Curfew

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

    I was out after curfew due to having sprayed poisonous chemicals to rid the house of bugs. There is no food in the house and I went into town to get food while I waited.
    And I picked up a job application at a local business for a second job before going home.

    The police showed up at my house to check on my curfew while I was gone.
    could I legally, by reasonable standards be given an exception under these circumstances?

    No. Reasonable standards would require that you bug bomb the house during hours such that your curfew would be unaffected. Ditto for fetching food.

    I should have clarified further. My roommate was the one that sprayed, and i work up until my curfew time. There was no way for me to have done either during another time before curfew. my roomate sprayed and left for the day.

    The fact that you did errands as well as picked up food shows disregard to the order. When a curfew is enforced, it is not up to the defendant to determine what would be a reasonable excuse not to be in compliance. I had a client that reported that he broke curfew because he claimed he had to work. That was not a call he could make. He was taken into custody and we let the judge determine whether or not his excuse was valid.

    The Law was not created to let any man starve, suffocate or go Poor.
    Its a shame that this is not the case.

    Nahhh... What you should have done, is to contact your P.O. and ask him/her what to do BEFORE the **** hit the fan, rather than assuming "if I get caught, I'll see if it makes for an exception"!
