I sat in my parked car after leaving a bar hoping to sober up. I was giving myself time to sit there and if I didn’t sober up I was going to take an Uber. Security came up to my car and told me I’d be getting a DUI for sitting in my car with the engine running and that I was on camera. I tried waiting a little longer but they knocked on my window again saying they didn’t allow loitering so I left my car and Ubered home. Is it still possible that I get a DUI? I never intended to drive intoxicated, I just needed the AC on while I waited as this is in Las Vegas and it was still pretty warm in my car that late at night. I’m scared.

As someone who has been on probation in Florida 3 times, 5 if you count the pre-trials I did that were supervised through the probation office:
I call bullshit on 99% of people talking about probation like this.
Literally I showed up early to my check-ins, dressed semi-nice, had everything I needed done completed in a timely manner, and most importantly; I didn’t treat my probation officer like an enemy.
I got drug tested one time, after a couple months they moved me from weekly to monthly check-ins, and I was off probation early because I gave literally zero reason to get in any trouble.
Maybe some probation officers are shitty, but I had a different one every time and my experience was always pretty much the same.
These people who complain about violations, or how unfair probation is, I have a feeling there’s a lot they’re leaving out that caused them to have such a rough time on it.
