A: Your probation officer will receive a copy of your interlock report. They generally understand these machines needs to be calibrated and can have interference. However, you will want to meet with a local criminal defense attorney to determine if a Motion to Revoke your probation has been filed and if there is a warrant for your arrest. From there, an experienced attorney can help explain the situation to the probation officer and negotiate an appropriate outcome.
