    What happens when you violate felony probation with a misdemeanor?
    My boyfriend was into about 6 months of felony probation and his P.O. was really pleased with how he was doing, he then was pulled over for going 5 mph over the speed limit... and they searched him and his car because he told them he was on probation. So he had his friend with him and they searched both of them found a serenity pipe 'the legal' herb they sell in smoke shops on him and less than 20 grams of weed which he had just bought off his friend. His friend though left his own 'pipe'
    (which maryj was used in it) underneath the passenger seat and they let him leave after they only searched and then arrested my boyfriend like idiots before they searched the car. So then they asked him about that and he said it wasn't his it was his friends which was the truth but of course they didn't want to look like they F****** up so they chraged him with another charge of equipment something or other. So he was bailed out for two weeks and he violated probation so he turned himself in the next morning after the warrant was released. Does anyone know what will happen?

    I'm not sure it was the Police who were the idiots here - your boyfriend, on felony probation, was driving around with MJ in his car?

    He could be sentenced to the time he would have served if he had not received probation; he could continue on probation after a warning.

    It could go either way.

    Most likely he will be going back in till his time is served. Since he has proven he didn't learn his lesson before then he will be remanded to go back. Flat out he blew it.

    Your boyfriend should not have been carrying drugs while on probation. Now, he will go back to jail and might have to finish the rest of his sentence. Or depending on what the authorities decide to do will happen to him..

    It is not the real level of the new crime, even non crimes, like not reporting can violate his probation.

    If he original crime was drugs, then this will most likely be taken more seroius than if perhaps he was a armed robber. Silly yes, but if he, If he does not go back to prison, he will be put most likely on a very close probation with a lot more drug tests.

    But most likely it is back to prison for some time, maybe his full sentence, maybe just a few months but my bet would be more time.

    He did serve time already for the original... his probation officer said he will most likely be put on a longer probation sentence after serving his 10 days. I can't wait until marijuana is legal. And if your against it'll most likely get us at least half way out of debt if they just tax the crap out of it which I'm sure they'll do.

    A lot of the opinion here is based on the law as it applies not the quality of it. And if it is illegal in your state then he needs to steer clear. That IS the bottom line.

    This is a discussion for a discussion board -

    Violate probation and face the consequences. It's as simple as that.

    Hello y:

    Your boyfriend was an idiot for telling the cops he was on probation and letting them search. I don't think they're going to slam him hard, though, for a little dope.
