SoCal Formal Probation Leaving the State (misdemeanor DUI)
I was convicted of a misdemeanor DUI in Ventura County, Ca. I was sentenced to a 2900$ fine and 36 months formal probation. This was unexpected to me only because this is for a misdemeanor DUI conviction (first offense with .12 BAC)
I was told by my attorney that assuming I pay the fine in full on the day of the conviction (which I did), most likely my probation officer (who I have yet to be contacted by as my court date was only yesterday) would change the status of my formal probation to informal probation. Anyway my concern is I have a vacation already paid for on August 15 for 3 days out of state. Is it likely that my probation officer will or will not let me go if I have already paid my fine, enrolled in alcohol school, etc...
Thanks
