Re: probation violation
Posted by -- on 10/31/07

    Well--tell me how you talked yourself out of another driving
    while intoxicated charge. Either you are the luckiest or
    most silver tongued son of a gun in the world.

    I assume you had a valid license to drive at the time you
    were pulled over. A non-criminal traffic violation should
    not affect criminal probation. You must be given a due
    process revocation hearing. That means the state must
    produce some admissible proof that you violated your
    probation.

    For goodness sake and the safety of others; DON'T EVER DRINK
    AND DRIVE AGAIN!
