    Default Almost Arrested but Let Go at Scene - Will Probation Find Out

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas

    Hi i was just wondering, i was with a friend last night and we were at a gas station, parked and we had saw one of his friends getting a ticket from a trooper. Well this person had synthetic marijuana on him, i was not aware of at all. so this person walks up to my car that im in and puts his backpack in the back seat, he said get out of the car and said i violated probation after i told him i was on papers. i asked why and how, he said he has synthetic marijuana in ur car. i was then cuffed and put in the back seat of one of the cars. so after a few minutes, one of the officers come to me and takes me out and uncuffs me, said that my friends claimed it and that i was able to leave. so i was just wondering, would the officer call my probation officer and tell him what happen? he saw my probation card and ID but i was given it back. usually people who VOP goto jail right away correct? am i just lucky to have gotten out of trouble? I am worried my PO will call on monday asking me to come in and discuss this manner. someone in my family and a couple friends said that he wouldnt call because of this due to the fact that i wasnt arrested right there or charged, because i was simply able to just go home. any help would be great...sorry for not sharing much, am very nervous.

    Yes, the officer may let your PO know. He may not. The local computer system might have a way to flag your name and if the PO runs your name or it is flagged to notify him if your name is run or entered into their system, then he might find out.

    Around here probationers are told to report any law enforcement contact. You just might have a similar rule ... so, if you do NOT report it, you may be violated by your PO if he finds out about it.

    It's time to make a choice. Straighten up and fly right - and choose your friends better, or, say "screw it" and expect to live the rest of your life in poverty and going in and out of custody.

    call your PO and report the police contact. you might get in trouble, but if you fail to report, he WILL find out, and you WILL get in trouble

    No, you need to call him and tell him tomorrow. If you wait, and he finds out in the interim, it may bite you in the butt.
