He thinks if he waits till prob period runs out he will be free and clear.
That is not necessarily true. Probation could submit to the Court a tolling order and if it has been signed his probation would stop or "toll" until such time as he is arrested not the warrants. If a tolling order has been signed there is no way for his probation period to run out.
Will I get probation ?
In order to remotely answer your question we would need way more information. Are you getting help from an attorney? What are the facts of your case? Impossible and would only be able to speculate without at least some information about your situation.
Novel question. Could be, with the right facts and evidence of intent. Would depend on the perspective of the Indicting DA.
Additional details removed.
The short answer is YES. The issue becomes when will they lay the charges and how they prove the elements of the offence without sobriety tests of a breathalyzer? Were blood sample taken? Was there a video of the event? How decent and reliable are the eyewitnesses?... Read more »
It was categorized as a misdemeanor and not a possession charge. I pled the first offender act Because I Don’t plan on ever getting arrested again.I live in Georgia it’s supposed to be sealed, but I don’t think it is. So I’m just wondering how I approach this question on the application for... Read more »
A plea under the first offender act is not a conviction, because there is no adjudication of guilt. So you can honestly say you have no convictions.
Generally within a day or two, unless they are holding the vehicle as evidence, or filing a forfeiture claim. However, that would be very unusual for a DUI case.

If under 21 it may be suspended for a year. but that is only if you get convicted. sometimes your lawyer can identify problems with the case which can let you plead to a leaser charge or obtain a not guilty verdict at trial.

Under Georgia law, if you have 2 or more DUI convictions, you are required to have an Interlock Ignition Device installed on your car. If you do not get it installed, you will not be able to get a new license, unless you can show you cannot install the device due to undue hardship.

Was wondering if it was leagel to be arrest when he had no hat on
The officer does not have to wear his cover (or hat) to make an arrest for DUI.
No test or anything done at the jail can they do that
A police officer can arrest a person for DUI even when they refuse a breathalizer. The officer can arrest for DUI if based on their training and experience a person: has bloodshot eyes, smells like alcohol, was swerving or driving erratically, or had slurred speech.
An officer in another county can arrest you for DUI. The officer, based on his training and experience can determine that you were DUI based on: slurred speech, stumbling while walking, bloodshot eyes, or smelling like alcohol. If you refuse the breathalizer, the officer can still arrest you for... Read more »
You will need to post this question in a Tennessee "ask a lawyer" section instead of Georgia. If it was Georgia, the only way to get test results that the officer does not give to you is through the discovery process.
I did not have any vehicle's registered to me at the time of the conviction.

If someone is in jail on a probationary hold you will have to find out what the hold is for AND then take care of that matter.
The court said it was my daily medicine that did it. I told the officer I have epilepsy.
If you plead guilty, this offense cannot be expunged.
