advice

so towards the end of january, i was arrested, along with two of my friends, for having a xanax pill on me, two packs of pall malls, and for being out past curfew. (i'm 17, female, by the way.) and so i had to go see a probation officer, and she gave me 6 months probation, with random drug tests. i knew i didn't have anything to worry about with the drug tests, since i don't do drugs. but she only told me what would happen to me if i failed a drug test. i can't remember what she said would happen if i got into trouble with the law again.

so anyways, about a month later, i got caught shoplifting, (dumb, i know. don't lecture me) and got slapped with another citation. so we called the chick, since she said if i did get into trouble again, to let her know within 48 hours of it happening. and we did, and she said she'll need to meet up with me again.

but now its been almost a month and a half and we haven't heard anything from her. i'm getting anxious, and so are my parents. and since i'm going to start driving soon, i'm worried that i'll get pulled over for speeding or something and then they'll see they have a warrent for me and take my happy ass down to juvi. why is she taking so long to call? what do you think will be my punishment, with the law? i'd prefer answers from someone who knows a lot about this type of stuff or has been in this situation before. thanks. and please, no lectures. i've learned from my mistakes and now i just need some answers.

Ok, your 17. You won't go to juvi.. your going to JAIL.
She hasn't called you becuase your an adult. You know you need to go see her.. you are "on the run" You know this..and you should do something about this NOW.
You won't get out of this with just probation.
You have violated your probation.. and depending on the state you live in.. it is mandatory that you spend at least 45 days in jail, for your VOP.

And as for getting pulled over once your driving.. Don't speed, don't break the law and you won't get pulled over to be arrested.

But if you keep running with a warrant. The charge will grow and you WILL pay for it.

(Rating: 3) thanks for the advice, but no, i won't go to jail. i'm still a minor. i don't know how the laws work in your state, but in mine, until i'm 18, i'm legally a minor.
