If you fail a drug test, how many days does the probation officer have to give you to be clean?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Lawrence Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
Zero, the probation officer does not have to give you any days, unless it is the first drug test you are taking within 30 days of disposition of the case in court. In that case where you entered a plea in court and 14 days later you failed a drug test, the probation officer would typically give you another three weeks. With drug tests, you do not just test positive, there is also a way to see IF the drugs in your system are increasing or decreasing.

Are my Georgia theft by deception charges legal?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Lawrence Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
Because the title, tag and insurance are all in your name, the person who was in possession of the vehicle stole the vehicle, correct? You filed a police report, indicating that your vehicle was stolen, correct? No? That is because the person that was driving the vehicle did not steal the vehicle. You gave him the vehicle to drive. why would you give another person your vehicle to drive? Because they are paying on the vehicle. So, the person to whom you sold the vehicle is driving around on a vehicle that is still in your name. This is the only logical conclusion. So, the person responsible for paying you does not need a contract, you have an oral contract, demonstrated by the person having physical custody of your vehicle. Now, here is the problem: Because you and the person are dealing with tough economic times, you have these crazy arrangements. She cannot fulfill her part, so you take back the car. Are you authorized to take back the car? Not according to the verbal agreement. And there is no written agreement. SO, yes you can be charged with theft by deception when you use self-help to recover the vehicle in your name which you sold without any paperwork. I wish you the best of luck.
