Open container and felony probation (CRIMINAL LAW & PROCEDURE)

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 21:59:00 GMT

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I'm currently on felony probation and I have to do alcohol and drug evaluations. The other night I had a friend drive me and my fiance's car home and we were pulled over. There was a open container in the console and the officer issued me a open container ticket since technicaly it was my car. I'm concerned that this is a violation of my probation and will my probation officer know before I even tell him?

  • You're almost certainly required to tell your probation officer. I'd tell him asap. Your timely compliance will mitigate the violation (even if he heres about it concurrently through channels). It will look real bad if he comes to you asking what's this all about?
