My probation officer accuses me of having an attitude and said they will never let me off of probation. What can I do?
I had made the statement, “I never had to do this before” I was referring to a new breathalizer that the probation officer was using. The probation officer accused me of having an attitude and I was called into their office for it and told that I would never get off of probation. Can’t I do something about these accusations?

Yoour probation officer does not have a say as to whne probation ends. Rather that is a decision that was made when you entered into a plead or deal in connection with the underlying crime. I suggest that you act politely in he future - you do not want to pick up another charge. Why is it that your probation officer thinks that he controls when probation ends? Did you have a lawyer representing you in court. If you did have a lawyer, then i would call him to eplain the situation so that he is farily apprsed as to what is going on as well. Ask your laywer to confirm how long you are on probation for.
