I am on probation for 3 years for a Domestic Violence crime, and I want to know what kind of test they will most likely give me when I check into probation. Is it going to be a urine test, blood test or saliva test? Anyone had any experience with this? I have officialy checked in only 1 time so far, but I check in once every month. Anyone have any clue?

If your probation worker is worth his salt he'll mandate you attend a counseling program for batterers. Group counseling is most effective. I worked with victims of domestic violence for 11 years. \n\nThere may be home visits and ongoing checks of your police record. Your po might check on you in the evening, on the weekend or holidays. They may also do random drug and/or alcohol testing. This information comes from the State of Illinois, Lake County.

There are several tests which have been researched for over a decade, to detect alcohol _consumption_ for a period long after the alcohol has been metabolized out of the bloodstream. One of these is the mean corpuscular volume ("average size" of red blood cells) - - so that may be what you mean by "examining the cells". The test is likely not as good as some others, such as carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, or a computerized panel called "Early Detection of Alcohol Consumption" (several dozen different blood tests analyzed statistically in a "profile").\n\nCould any of these test detect ONE drink, two weeks earlier? I don't think so. Might they detect an entire weekend of binge drinking, two weeks after the fact. Maybe. Conclusively? I don't know. Depends on who is the judge.\n\nBest wishes,\n\nRex Bickers

In shock probation the convicted person is sentenced to X number of years, but after 30, 60, or 90 days they go back before the judge and re-sentenced to probation. It's called shock probation because they believe by sending the person to jail initally they can "shock" them into living a crime free life. Not offered to everyone.

My son recently failed a drug test while on probation. It is his first violation of probation. He is in jail now and will be there for another 6 months waiting for a new public defender to be assigned to him and a hearing which is in Nov. The state is requesting he serve 20-30 months. Depending on what your crime was originally as well as the judge handling your case, will decide on what happens to you. If you were originally arrested for a drug crime, you will probably go to a drug rehab live-in facility. If your crime was not drug related, then you will probably serve time in jail. The length of time depends on the severity of the crime you were charged with and how many VOP's (violation of probations) you have had. My advise to you is to call your probation officer and inquire about going to a drug rehab. program and admit you have a problem. If you don't, he will just soon have you picked up anyways. It would look better for you to show you are wanting help of your own free will.

I have been in a similar situation for a different reason. I skipped a probation hearing because of a work obligation. The result being a probation violation and either having to serve my suspended sentence or extend the term of my probation. \nThere must be a record of the class being taken somewhere... speak with the person that made the presentation.. look for a canceled check or find the record for payment. Without proof.. the odds may not be in your favor on this one. Offer to retake the class at your expense as a compromise? The probation department will probably take that as a positive sign that you intent to make amends for the indiscretion. Most have the ability to give the benefit of the doubt for those with no prior history of criminal activity. Repeat offenders typically get no sympathy from the courts.\nSo this would depend on your particular situation

It's called Safe Place...your probation officer or any state official could tell you more. It's only for a certain type of offenses and to my knowledge it's a program to scare them and let them see what's going to happen in prison if they don't change their ways.

It can.  It depends how much you're inhaling.  It is stored in the fat cells and can stay in the system enough to test positive MONTHS later, not just weeks as someone has already said.   There is actually a formula (probation and parole use) for the rate THC levels must drop to show someone is not using.

When I worked in HR, I had a lady come in wearing a criminal ankle bracelet.  You know the once for used for keeping track of criminals on house arrest? Well she told me :" oh this thing on my ankle?  I only have to wear it for six more months and I only have to wear it because my stupid a** friends turned me in.I don't use drugs anymore, but if you need me to do a drug test , I would like it if you could wait a week or two"---and my boss overrode me too telling me when need to give everyone a second chance.  Six months later she was arrested walking out of work and last I heard was doing 5-10 in prison!

You are confused about this. If the offender was originally sentenced, say to 5 years in prison and he served 3 of those years, the other 2 years he will be on parole. Any violation of the parole terms and he will go back into the system and serve the remaining of the original\nsentence.   Probation is usually granted to first time offenders for minor offenses, but again if the probation requirements are violated, the individual could be send to prison for the rest of the probation term.

this tests you for evrything you have done. pot stays in your body for about 30 days, coke for about 72-80 hours and ackohol for about 12 hours, sorry for the spelling.  other drugs i am not sure.if you are on probation you  have probably spent time in jail already.  which is more important , your drugs or your freedom.  do you want to order pizza or have a jail meal.  do you want to visit your family in person or send them jail mark cards.  its your decision , be strong.

I think it depends on what kind of records you are talking about. The best thing to do is A. ask your attorney and B. ask a representative of your local domestic violence program. For example, it is very important for medical records that document the abuse to be entered into evidence. And, the court can make an order that either/both the victim and the batterer have a psychiatric evaluation and a report would be made to the court.\n\nIf you don't know the number of your local domestic violence program you can call The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). They can give you the number. It's also possible that someone from the local program can go to court with you. I worked for a domestic violence program for 11 years. We routinely went to court with victims.\n\nhttp://www.firstmedmarin.com/HIPPA.html\nAs Required By Law:\nWe may use or disclose your personal health information to the extent that such use or disclosure is required by law.

That's a huge fish story.....true or not. My first question comes from the first arrest as why you didn't go down to the local police station and have your vehicle checked by a drug dog to avoid the second incident. I then wonder why, after the first arrest, you didn't head to your local doctor and get a blood test proving you were not using. This doesn't appear to have been done for the second arrest either. So, what you are left with is a mountain of evidence against you. Considering these are both felonies, any deferment, agreement, plea deal you make will instantly make you a convicted felon, a label that lasts a lifetime. Tread carefully grasshopper, you are in very dangerous waters.

If charges are filed, persued and she is found guilty how long she will serve depends on what State she is in, what the exact charges filed would be, and who the judge doing the sentencing is.  Sometimes in these cases, depending on the jurisdiction, probation is possible.  Also,  what he did and his past record of bad/criminal behavior is irrelevant to how much time she will serve.

I've taken a few tests myself. I failed one by using a urine additive because they can detect it in your urine. I passed one by drinking a detox drink like mentioned by another answerer, but the one I used was for "the morning after". I had a friend who swears that if you put a few drops of bleach in water and drink it that works. I don't know about this one though. Also you can take these pills used to purify water (from a sports store in the camping gear section)There's two different pills. Take one of each asap and you will pass. Definitely drink lots of water and pee as much as you can. If you can afford it buy the synthetic urine at the head shop (quite expensive!) Good Luck and keep tokin'!! (It's not as bad as alcohol for all of you out there against it!)

If she goes to the hospital, they will take samples and be able to tell if she was raped.   I assume they'd also do blood work to test for any drugs in her system?   If she suspects, this happened, she should contact someone immediately.

It will take 3 days to come out of your urine and 7 for no traces to be found in your blood. Most probation/parole officers do not test for hallucinogenic drugs unless you are suspected of using them. Your best bet is to take niacin and lots of water if it is a urine test. If you are tested for hallucinogenic drugs and a panel 32 drug test is used, you will more likely test positive. Good luck

I used the police test to study for a sheriff test.  It worked fine.  The tests are pretty much the same.  When it will really make  a difference is the oral board.  \nI would suggest that you go ahead and study the police study guides for the written exam.  It will help.  However, to prepare for the oral boards, I suggest doing as many ride alongs with the dept. you are applying for as possible.  I was unable to find study guides specifically for Sheriff when I tested, only police.  Yes the depts. are different, however, the written tests are the same.  I studied police study guide books and got picked up my first time testing!!!!
