That is true, she did say, " Take a breath, don't worry, nothing is going to happen " Though I felt it more a placating remark because she typed for honestly three minutes straight.
I already have an interview scheduled and have done several applications. Which I have logged into a spreadsheet, I am just more concerned with something coming up later on with " He wasn't employed so technically in violation for 10 months of his 12 month period "
I already have a job with a self employed home business, but its only $350 weekly (maybe 2 hours of work) through Amazon and do not have pay stubs or proof of work aside from bank account deposits.
Hoping this interview goes well today.
I appreciate the response, it sounds like maybe I am over stressing this, but probation is serious business and I really don't want to jeopardize my plea bargain because I was looking at 10-20 years initially.
I just wanted to add more information. The conviction was a plea agreement with the first time offender waiver requiring the jail time, and the year of probation (with treatment requirement)
Up until now I have paid all fines, (completely paid off both restitution and supervision) and had no violations.
Maybe paranoia, but with the constant change of probation officers with each having there own interpretation of the rules.
IE. I asked for permission to travel to another county for driving my wife to work, going to the gym, and I was about 2 miles from the county line, Officer #1 said no problem, you are actually classified as a low risk so you don't even need permission.
#2, I asked the same permission to be safe, and he said he wouldn't approve any travel outside of the county unless it was treatment related
#3 said it didnt matter where I went as long as I was only travelling and returned home, and cited the low risk
#4 Said same, only saw once
#5 Said same, only saw once
#6 Was confused when I asked her, said she would look into it.
According to DOC 380.650 most recent revision date;
"Low risk offenders not requiring registration do not require permission to travel in-state"
What gets me is the general confusion about this rule, so clarification would be
Can I be violated for traveling inside the state given the doc 380.650 states I do not require permission to travel anywhere inside of the state?
I secured employment assuming my drug test passes, but it is a county over. My main issue is that I am so paranoid I am convincing myself once I state that I secured employment, they are going to state I was outside of the county during the interview and that the job, being outside the county would also qualify for a violation.
Regardless, I appreciate the insight and if I do catch a violation I will obviously hire legal council immediately.
