    My first meeting with probation office and I don't have the money do I go to jail?
    I got a speeding ticket. Went to court and did not have the money to pay the ticket. Then the judge put me on probation for 90 days. Now it is 12 days later and I have my first visit with my probation officer. I do not have the money for my probation officer. Do they send me to jail? I am not a criminal! I went 12 miles over the speeding limit.

    You are on probation for 12 miles over the limit? Do you have a criminal history?

    You will "probably" get a warning and extension of time but could go to jail.

    Please post your answer by using the "reply" section so it is complete.

    Am I correct that you didn't have the money to pay the fine and so you were placed on probation and given a time frame within which the fine has to be paid?

    Wow - what State? In NY you would be given an extension of time but NOT put on probation. It seems to me that you were treated harshly (for lack of another word).
