Pharmacist’s Close Call: Returns To Halfway House, Not Federal Prison Camp

[@MadsWorld34]

my nephew went to prison for 9 years with 3 years probation. while he was in there he found most went back for stupid shit. like what you said. when it come time for him to get out he said nope just keep me here until its all over. and after 8 months when we walked out he was 100% free.

He was behaving and broke a rule the you would overlook right before he was to lose his tails. I dont know how long his probation was but it can be difficult sometimes to follow along. The story sounds like a spite problem by the probation officer, he had to audit the bank acct to find the evidence. As many have said rules are rules and none of us know the details.

He wasn’t supposed to leave Los Angeles county. He went to San Diego county. So we’re back to the first line. Pretty easy to figure out what went wrong.

He was docted on his income tax because of job benefit. We argued he never had the van for his own use. They found out he had filled the gas tank on a sunday by his credit card. Also, there was this guy who traveled with his car from Chicago to LA. They pulled out his licence plate in three places on the way. There is a national registry of every camera from cop cars or highway and street views in the US that can be pulled out by police, just like China.

My level of empathy is determined by your level of sheer greed, along with how comparatively light your sentence was because you could afford the best lawyers.

When you are on probation you are still imprisoned, you're just not in a prison; don't forget that. That said, the PO should have notified the court immediately, instead of playing sadistic games; that man needs a psyche eval and a pip.

I never had an issue with federal probation. I got off a year early because I worked and stayed out of trouble. Follow the rules, life gets easier.

More control than the government needs

I would just not do anything to get to this situation. Why do t we start there? These fools get a platform

[@ernestmorgan5924]

It never ceases to amaze me how hard some people will go with "just do what you're told, follow the rules" And if the rules are unjust? Like 3 more years on probation because you drove farther than daddy judge says?

If you Brake your Probation Too BAD you make that Choice. Bottom LINE

Having familiarity with the legal system in various ways over the years including law enforcement I’ve discovered our legal system is as inconsistent as are the people who make it up.
