San Jose, CA asked in Criminal Law and DUI / DWI for California

Q: Do I need to get a lawyer?

I violated my court probation by “attending a illegal motor vehicle contest” they gave me a ticket for spectating.

My original offense was for a dui. Which occurred at the beginning of 2020.

- I was within 300 feet when the police stopped me, but they had the whole intersection blocked off and I wasn’t driving. I didn’t even have keys on me.

What’s the chance of getting my probation revoked?

A: As part of your probation you were told to "lead a lawful life", this is potentially a probation violation. That being written, you probably have nothing to worry about regarding a probation violation, however you can contact a local criminal defense attorney (or maybe the one you hired for your DUI) to discuss the possible outcomes.
