    Default Probation Violation Charges for a False SCRAM Result

    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?

    Default Re: Probation Violation Charges for a False SCRAM Result

    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.
