Please no judgements, serious question regarding unsupervised probation

[Emily115]

I have a question. My husband was arrested in Arizona for a class 1 misdemeanor. He has a plea agreement and one of the terms is unsupervised probation, then it says the court shall determine the terms of probation. We live in New York...no not gang members or anything negative we are from Long Island, please be nice, we are, and the arrest was not violent or anything it was for a joint roach. Literally the size of my pinky nail. Anyway, it says along with unsupervised probation he has to pay a 746$ fine, and attend an 8 hour drug education class here at home. My question is though if he signs this plea agreement as guilty what is the court determining otherwise as of "terms of probation"? We can't really afford to fly back rent a car and stuff to meet with a PO. Can somebody please tell me what this means? Thanks in advance.

I seriously doubt that they will assign him a probation officer for a misdemeanor possession of marijuana. He will likely get "unsupervised probation" but no one here can say for sure, because it is literally up to the judge he will see and that judge can impose (nearly) any conditions he or she desires in this case.

Above doc is uniform conditions of supervised probation. It can apply to unsupervised as well. It lists all the standard terms of probation.

Does he have a lawyer? Might not be a bad idea to get one before he signs anything. If he doesn't and isn't going to get one, ask the prosecutor what the terms of the probation will be and what he will have to do. This is all after conviction stuff, not the kind of things police normally deal with.

We live in New York...no not gang members or anything negative we are from Long Island,

WTF does that mean? You implying everyone from New York is in a gang? You implying Long Island is nicer than New York City? "Be nice"...yet you walk in here with an attitude and clear bias about all New Yorkers.

please be nice, we are, and the arrest was not violent or anything it was for a joint roach. Literally the size of my pinky nail.

So the guy driving the car who has a .08 blood alcohol is only "a little drunk" and therefore should not be held liable when he crashes into your families car and kills everyone? The law is clear as black and white and drugs are illegal, small or large. Statemenst like this imply somebody (you, he or both) don't accept responsiblity for what he did, which could nullify any plea agreement.

Anyway, it says along with unsupervised probation he has to pay a 746$ fine, and attend an 8 hour drug education class here at home. My question is though if he signs this plea agreement as guilty what is the court determining otherwise as of "terms of probation"?

What the judge detrmines outisde of the plea agreement your husband needs/deserves and or standard added conditions such as drug testing, no other offenses in the future, ect....

We reserve the right to pass judgment on illegal drug users. And other assorted offenders.

I thought everyone from New York was in the Mafia and everyone from Long Island just partied all the time getting drunk and doing drugs.



Guess I'm learning something new; at least I was half right.

I think it's funny because if we are going to stereotype, the only people actually called "Joey" are from New York.

[Joeyd6]

LOL.....and as my co-worker pointed out...they all call be "Joey Bag of Donuts"....and ironically, all mobsters tend to have nicknames like such. I guess I failed to see I must be in the mafia. Therefore new rule, you come and visit, you owe me $100 entrance fee. Protection is another $100, and exit from the city is only $50.

exit from the city is only $50.

50 bucks in the seat of the car. In the trunk of the car, free.....

Yeah, the questions you want answered are all after the fact and handled by the judge and prosecutor. The role of law enforcement is simply to submit charges based upon probable cause.

Only the judge will say what the terms are. The prosecutor can recommend, but the judge has to approve the final plea bargain regardless. If you can't fulfill the terms of the assigned probation, I highly recommend never coming back to AZ as a warrant will be issued for his arrest. Possession of marijuana can be charged as a Class 6 felony (lowest felony we have), but is often reduced to a Class 1 misdemeanor (highest misdemeanor we have) if it's a first offense.

Come on, type it like they say it. Don't pretend it's four words. It's "Joey bagga donuts". I'm surprised they haven't shortened it to just "joey donuts."

"whaddya want?"
"I'm here speak with agent in charge of confectionary delights."
"joey donuts. end'o'the hall, tree doors down. he aint gottallday, pal, so keep movin'."
