Re: Probation Officer From Hell
Yes, as in every vocation of life, there are people that just can't handle the power that is put into their hands. If what you say is true, then I would say this probation officer is truly acting inappropriate... to say the least. If I am not to late in my reply, I would say to contact your lawyer and have him file a motion before the judge. When you get there, have the judge order the treatment on the Saturday and any other orders specificly.
As a Probation Officer, my interest was merely to satisfy the order of the court as quickly as possible without any new crimes being committed in the meantime. It really is not hard to get along with people if you can first get along with yourself... or be comfortable within yourself. So many of these officers of the law have no real life experience so they feel the only way to get anything done is by throwing their weight or power around. I worked as a prison guard for 10 years before becoming a probation officer so I had some real people experience. That just made it all so easy!
