    Hey, V, in Georgia this is a criminal offense. It's a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 12 months in the can and up to $1000 in fines. That's for a first offense, and it just gets uglier from there.

    Apparently, they don't play in the Land of Peaches and Pecans.
    So there we go, she committed criminal offense!(thanks LRM!) Since he didn't mention the state, I wasn't sure. One thing remains the same, probation is not meant to be a cakewalk for the offender. Just because you don't like the conditions or the rules, does not make it conform to something that is better for your tastes. She has things to do in order to get off of these papers. I don't even allow for the spouse to get near my probationer's appointments. This is the main reason why. If you want to take charge of her probation, pay her fine in full. At least you'll be helping. Right now, you're making it worse.

    YOU ARE Making a huge assumption as to what attitude my wife has... Next, this attitude of, you did wrong, we have the right to make your life miserable is ridiculous.. she didn't have her registration with here, she went on probation because she didn't have all of the money during her court date to pay the fine in totalilty.... her actions didn't bring her to you, not having the rest of the money with her did that.. again, a good way to make it seem as if she was guilty of a drive by shooting.

    there is no more to the story, except anything you may add.... what she commited to my understanding was a misdemeanor. You keep saying you don't get probation for a fineable offense, then what happens when you can't pay the ticket when you show up to court? even if it is a speeding ticket or a jay walking ticket? might want to check your info there...

    Lil buddy? I am not your little buddy, it seems like you must be a PO, your attitude is, we can behave like jackasses, and you citizens who are below us need to get in line..

    sorry, I am not buying that....

    reading comprehension must not be one of your strong points.. no one is asking for a cakewalk.. honestly, I could care less if the miserable chic was a prick, just as long as she conducted her business in a fair and just manner.... for the record, I went with here to one appointment in which I showed up in her place actually.. again, you are making a lot of assumptions...as if you were there.... LOL... she doesn't need me to pay her fine, she is paying it herself.. I suggested she just ask them to resend the case back to court and bring everything before a judge again... when she suggested that to the supervisor at the PO office, he tried to do everything he can to smooth over the problem.. again, I am not the only one who sees a problem here...

    I believe the sentence was "probation is not meant to be a cakewalk for the offender." You may not like it, but that's legally correct. Probation is MEANT to be inconvenient. The point of probation is to drill it into your head that there are rules that must be followed, whether you like them or not, and that there are consequences for not following the rules. Probation means following ALL the rules, even if you think they're stupid - and that includes showing up in person to see your PO. Or, you know, one can ignore the rules and land in jail, which I'm given to understand is WAY more inconvenient.

    Getting snotty at the volunteers just because you don't like the answers is not going to change your wife's situation. You got legally correct information.

    You're not going to want to hear this, but I'm going to tell you anyway: Step back and let your wife handle it.

    You're going along to appointments? Yeah. No. Don't do that. Your wife needs to own this all by herself. If there's an issue, SHE - and she alone - needs to handle it, and you need to get the idea of "letting this female have it verbally" right out of your head. Your contempt for this woman - yes, woman is the correct identifier for humans sporting the XX chromosome set - is palpable, and I've no doubt that it is contributing to your wife's problem. Step off.

    actually, I don't go with her, i just don't have the time and really don't have the patience to deal with that fool of a PO officer.. I am sorry, but she is a fool. I spoke to several other officers there and they were pretty cool... here is part of the problem.. My wife told them a week ago, she would be able to pay of her fine by the next scheduled appointment, her PO officer said, well since you can't pay it all this week, I am going to schedule you to come next week and again the following week.. again, just jackass behavior, knowing that my wife informed her that she has to drive 90 miles round trip.. my wife even suggested mailing in the final payment... she didn't want to do that..

    Today my wife shows up to pay here fine off in full.. she gets there an hour early, they are crowded and overbooked, they tell my wife she would have to be rescheduled. My wife said, well I am already scheduled to come back again on monday, but since I am paying it off in full,can I just do so monday.. they said, no, to come back wednesday.. LOL.. again, it is ok for them to overbook and tell her thanks for driving 90 miles, come back in two days... this is an absolute joke.. and to be honest, she wasn't scheduled to come today regularly, but because this miserable PO hates being miserable alone, she decided to make my wife's life equally miserable..

    Again, if I run a red light, or have an expired license, I deserve to pay my fine or whatever punishement the law allows. I should not be tossed about at the whim of a police officer or probation officer,just because they can...

    Some here seems to think that is perfectly ok..

    Honestly... what did you think would happen when you showed up for her very first probation meeting instead of her? Did you think the purpose of that meeting was to get SOMEONE to drive that distance or just to get SOMEONE to hand deliver a check?

    You don't sound like a moron. Don't pretend to be one. I am sure the nice judge person didn't use the term "or a person of your chosing in your stead" when the probation was handed down.

    Nope... part of the probation is to MAKE IT A PUNISHMENT FOR THE PERSON THAT COMMITTED A CRIME. What, you say? A punishment?

    Yup... and your wife failed.... cause you decided to go instead because one or both of you decided that YOUR wife was above the law. So, the PO decided to make SURE you got the point and made the probation doubly hard on YOUR WIFE.

    That's right... the reason the PO doesn't like your wife is because your wife, through her very own actions, showed that she considered a probationary sentence to be a trivial thing she could pretty much do by mail.

    I have known PO's that would have had a warrant out for your wife's arrest sent out before you got home. Maybe if your wife spends a few weekends in county lock up the point will get across.

    I live in Georgia.... you really don't want to play these stupid "I am going to prove to you who really has the authority" or "who really works for whom" games....because they will teach you and you will lose.

    Ask your wife about the inconvenience of spending the holiday season in county jail on the weekends.

    but I guess the motto around here is, you can get your head beat in, because you broke the law.. plain and simple
    I see the Drama Llama followed you home. And no wonder, you seem to have plenty to feed it!

    Your wife isn't getting her "head beat in" . She's being inconvenienced. And very mildly, at that. Or did you forget that your wife's offense is a criminal one, punishable by up to a year in jail?

    It's not illegal for her PO to inconvenience her. As noted already, that's rather the POINT of probation. But you can kick and scream "NUH UH!" if it makes you feel better.

    your post is all over the place.. you made about 150 assumptions, which everyone has been doing... it is almost becoming the expected.

    First of all MY WIFE didn't decide she couldn't go and sent me instead. I stated this many times, but I guess your story or your version is more sensational so you went with that... anyway, she called, because she COULD not physically be there under any circumstances, and they PO said it was perfectly fine that I show up. those were her exact words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the next visit, my wife walks in and this chic starts getting nasty..... which is odd, because when i went the visit went pretty good...

    honestly if you are going to give any input at least read the post and not make up stories so you can post... the typical, "see how spending the weekend in jail" stories follow.. It really is useless and has nothing to do with what the origin of this post was about....
