If you are on supervised probation, then you cannot relocate without permission of either your probation officer or the presiding Judge until your probation is completed. That said, most probation officers and/or the Court will give permission to relocate as long as there's good cause.

Yes, you can be charged after an arrest. The District Attorney ultimately decides what criminal charges to pursue, but you can be charged after the fact. No, the cop is not an addict, and it would be foolish to raise that issue as part of your defense.

I received article 894 from a dui I received in 2015. While I was doing community service to pay my fine , it came up that I owed around $100 from an old dui in like 2002. I paid the fine in 2015 so it’s showing that I had a current dui even though it was 894. I couldn’t and can’t afford an... View More
